Overview

Celebrating milestones across the RC aviation world, the HobbyZone Champ Anniversary Special Edition 515mm BNF Basic brings iconic trainer design to a compact ultra-micro platform. Built from lightweight yet resilient EPS foam, this high-wing aircraft arrives factory-assembled and ready for almost immediate flight. At its core lies a high-efficiency coreless motor paired with an integrated Spektrum receiver, ESC, and dual servo control unit, providing smooth throttle response and excellent flight duration for flying in backyards, parks, or sports fields.

Taking off and maintaining control is simple thanks to Horizon Hobby’s exclusive SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology. With beginner and unrestricted flight modes selectable at the push of a button, new pilots can build their skills at a comfortable pace while pitch and bank limits prevent over-controlling. If orientation is lost, releasing the control sticks allows the aircraft to return to level flight automatically. Designed for use with your favourite 4+ channel Spektrum DSMX or DSM2 transmitter, this Bind-N-Fly Basic model combines easy flight characteristics with basic aerobatic capabilities like loops and stall turns. Just add a 1S LiPo battery, bind to your radio transmitter, and take to the sky.

    I love this plane. Its the easiest plane i ever bought. So i bought a second one. Its probably the best begginner plane ever. The finish quality is very nice and it is fun in a small area. The spectrum rx and gyroscope are extremely helpful and easy to use. This plane is great fun.

    Great little plane. So easy to fly. So much fun without much stress. The dogs love chasing it so much. Spare parts are available. Landing in soft grass absorbs any impacts because the plane is so light. Im just buying another one. I really like this. Dosent need much room to fly.
