The E-flite F-15 Eagle 64mm EDF Bind-N-Fly Basic Electric Ducted Fan Jet is a replica of the world-renowned fighter flown by the U.S. Air Force. It's equipped with a 4S-compatible brushless motor and a 40-amp ESC that are matched to an 11-blade fan to deliver fantastic speed, thrust and a turbine-like sound. The factory-installed power system and servos help make it quick and easy to assemble the lightweight yet durable EPO airframe with bolt-on wings so you can be flying in less time than it takes to charge a battery. Optional-use fixed landing gear with a steerable nose wheel is included so you can taxi, take off and land on runways, or you can leave the landing gear off for improved performance plus easy hand launches and landings on grass. You can also fly with or without the wing-mounted drop tanks and missiles depending on the look and handling you prefer. And it all adds up to deliver one of the easiest to enjoy and easiest to fly Eagle models ever!

Really nice flying EDF jet.

I exclusively fly FPV, If you aren't you're missing out. The F-15 is an easy plane to install a camera and video transmitter with plenty of room under the canopy. A small AKK or Mach 3 transmitter with a MMCX whip antenna works great.

After a few attempts I got the hang of the gearless hand launch with SAFE on. It's easier if you have a little head wind. Once you are in the air and FLYING STRAIGHT switch off the stability control and then the fun starts. Grass landings are a cinch with the gear off and SAFE on.

At first I thought I'd have to add weight to the tail to get the plane to balance properly, but after a few flights realized you could slide the battery even farther back beyond an internal foam bulkhead and finally got it to balance without extra weight.

The maiden flight didn't require any trim at all.

I reduced the roll rate quite a bit under the recommended settings with extra expo and it still rolls very quickly (which is no problem flying FPV).

Hint: during setup, when you are assigning a switch to turn SAFE on and off, make sure you are in high rates or the switch won't assign.

It would be cool if you could fit higher capacity or higher voltage battery in the battery compartment (I'm using a 2200mah 50c 4 cell) but still getting 4-6 minute flight times.


It would also be nice if the plane had rudders but it still flies great without them.

All in all it's a fun plane to fly and an especially good value with the included AS3x/SAFE receiver.

The F-15 was well packed and arrived without damage. Assembly was fairly simple. The landing gear took a bit of fiddling to trap it in the shallow plastic sandwich. On taxiing the plane would not build up enough speed to take off from our grass field. Larger wheels may help. The jet injested some grass and possibly a dandelion. All the blades of the impeller left the hub. It made an interesting noise. I suggest a carbon fiber impregnated fan for strength. A replacement is not available as of July 2019. It never did fly.
