Overview

E-flite S.E.5a 900mm RC Airplane Introduction
Once called the “Spitfire of World War One” and considered by many pilots to be the best British single-seat fighter of the time, the Royal Aircraft Factory (RAF) SE5 was instrumental in regaining and maintaining allied air superiority in mid-1917. It's one of the most recognizable aircraft of the era, and six manufacturers constructed more than 5000 examples. Inspired by the original ParkZone model, the E-flite® SE5a 900mm features an all-new design that includes more scale detail along with modern-day features and technologies to deliver an unmatched flying experience with surprising capabilities and performance. It bolts and snaps together in almost no time and is small enough to be easy to store and transport without disassembly – so it can be flown at large parks, sports fields, and RC flying fields, too. The BNF Basic version is equipped with enhanced AS3X+® technology that smooths out the effects of wind and turbulence better than ever before. It's also equipped with optional-use SAFE® Select technology that makes it even easier to fly! Both versions include Spektrum™ digital, metal-geared servos, a 45A Smart Lite ESC, plus a 3S and 4S compatible motor.

E-flite S.E.5a 900mm RC Airplane Overview
The SE5 is one of the most iconic fighters of WWI, yet it's rarely modeled in any scale for RC. The E-flite® SE5a 900mm is a conveniently sized replica that offers unmatched scale detail, modern-day conveniences, features, and technologies to deliver truly unexpected levels of flight performance! It's capable of slow and smooth scale flying plus basic aerobatics – and if you crank up the throws, it's also capable of surprisingly aggressive aerobatics, including snaps, “pop tops,” and more. This makes it more fun for intermediate to experienced pilots to fly than any other SE5 model!

It features a variety of scale details, including molded-in ribs, radiator and exhaust details, machine guns and pilot figure with a scarf, plus optional-use elastic flying wires. Functional features include large scale main wheels and a hidden steerable tailwheel, along with wings and struts that bolt and snap into place for easy assembly and disassembly. Yet it's sized to be easy to store and transport without disassembly and so it can be flown at large parks, sports fields, and RC flying fields. The factory-installed digital and metal-geared servos provide precise and reliable control at every speed. And the power system includes a Spektrum™ outrunner motor and an Avian 45-amp Smart Lite ESC compatible with popular 3S and 4S 2200-3200mAh batteries. The BNF Basic version is also equipped with a factory-installed Spektrum AR631+ receiver featuring exclusive and enhanced AS3X+® along with optional-use SAFE® Select technologies. Plus, both versions are factory-finished in the classic Royal Flying Corps two-tone with roundels trim scheme.
