This is an E-Flite Air Tractor 1.5m Bind-In-Fly Electric Airplane with AS3X and SAFE Select, an easy to fly scale replica of the versatile crop duster that makes it a great first scale or low-wing model. Founded in 1978, Texas-based Air Tractor is a leading manufacturer of aircraft built for agricultural, firefighting and other utility applications. Air Tractor aircraft can be found hard at work over fields and forests in more than 30 countries around the world. The AT-500 series of ag airplanes first flew in the U.S. on April 25th, 1986. Since then, it has grown into one of the world's most popular families of general aviation, single-turboprop driven aircraft used for crop dusting, firefighting and other applications.

Air Tractor ag and utility airplanes have earned a reputation for friendly handling, incredible capabilities and unmatched versatility. Those qualities carry over to this E-flite Air Tractor 1.5m scale replica to make it a perfect scale low-wing model for intermediate to experienced RC pilots. The specially-tuned motor and 3-blade prop are matched to a 50-amp ESC to provide fantastic scale and sport aerobatic flight performance with 3S 2200-3200mAh LiPo batteries, or you can install a 4S battery for more power and unlimited vertical without the need for any modifications or upgrades. Functional slotted flaps improve slow speed handling while also offering Short Take Off and Landing (STOL) capabilities. Robust landing gear and wheels with over-sized tires allow the Air Tractor to fly from paved, grass, dirt, gravel or other surfaces at any suitably-sized park or RC flying field. Add large ponds or small lakes to your possible flying sites by installing optional floats (EFL5261, sold separately) — or attach the optional scale-like skis (EFLA970, also sold separately) to take off from and land on snow. The factory-applied paint and decal finish provides excellent visibility along with striking scale looks that are accented by LED navigation, strobe and landing lights. The E-flite Air Tractor 1.5m delivers a unique flying experience that a wide range of pilots will enjoy, even if it's your first scale or low-wing model.

This replica is factory-finished in a high-visibility yellow and blue trim scheme with molded-in panel lines, rivets and other scale features. With these details the E-flite Air Tractor 1.5m model offers a superb scale appearance to match its performance.

E-flite Air Tractor 1.5m PNP Electric Airplane (1555mm)
Great service as usual.
The model Air Tractor without stability is un-beleivable. It flys like it is on rails Wont stall, just nods it head wih no wingtip drop.I am flying it on 3 cells 4000 30c and could get 13 minute flight times but limit to max 10 min as that is enough for me.
Why any one would want or need stabalisation I cant understand. A Super Aircraft.

Since I haven't flown this model yet all I can do is report on the assembly. The hardware supplied should be replaced with better quality metric screws. Next replace the wheel/tire assembly with a better product sold by DuBro and this also applies to the wheel axles. Last but not least is to balance the three bladed propeller and plastic spinner. The quality and detail of the air frame is excellent.
