The E-flite Super Decathlon 1.2m BNF Basic with AS3X+ and SAFE Select is a scale replica of one of the most iconic aerobatic trainers ever built. Featuring its unmistakable design, advanced Spektrum technology and compatibility with popular 3S and 4S LiPo batteries, this model offers a versatile flying experience for pilots with some previous RC flight experience. It combines scale looks, forgiving handling and sporty performance in one highly attractive package.
Iconic scale model with versatile flight performance:
The Super Decathlon 1.2m closely captures the look of the full-scale aircraft and is finished in one of the most recognizable color schemes available for this type of airplane. The classic red, white and black trim with distinctive starburst accents gives the model a striking appearance both on the ground and in the air. At the same time, it delivers balanced flight characteristics that make it ideal as the next step after a trainer aircraft.
3S and 4S compatible brushless power system:
The factory-installed brushless power system has been specially tuned for the Super Decathlon and allows the use of 3S and 4S LiPo batteries from 2200 to 3200mAh. A 3S battery already provides plenty of power for sporty flying and long flight times. With a 4S battery, the model offers even more speed and stronger vertical performance, all without requiring any modifications or upgrades. This makes it easy to tailor the airplane to your preferred flying style.
Modern Spektrum Smart technology:
Equipped with a Spektrum AR631+ receiver, the BNF Basic version features modern DSMX technology and full-range telemetry capability. In combination with the 45A Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC, important real-time data such as battery voltage, current, RPM and more can be transmitted to compatible receivers and transmitters. Another key advantage is the Smart Transmitter File, which automatically imports the correct model settings when binding to compatible NX and iX transmitters.
AS3X+ and SAFE Select for greater confidence:
Exclusive Spektrum AS3X+ technology works in the background to counter the effects of wind and turbulence more effectively, resulting in a smoother, more precise and more stable flying experience. In addition, optional SAFE Select technology can be enabled to provide bank and pitch angle limits along with automatic self-leveling. This makes the Super Decathlon easier to manage and adds extra confidence when needed in more demanding flight situations.
Premium equipment and practical details:
The Super Decathlon 1.2m comes equipped with four factory-installed digital metal-geared servos with ball-link linkages. Functional LED landing and navigation lights enhance the scale appearance, while the durable aluminum landing gear with wheel pants adds to the premium look and feel. A convenient top-mounted battery hatch allows quick and easy battery changes. Optional motor reverse functionality adds even more versatility for special ground handling maneuvers and additional operating possibilities.
Quick assembly and convenient transport:
Final assembly is fast and simple, with no glue or special tools required. Screw-together construction, tool-free wing installation and quick-release struts make setup, transport and storage especially convenient. In many cases, the model can even fit into a vehicle fully assembled. Alternatively, the wing can be removed in just a few steps, making transport and storage even easier.
Ideal for pilots with some experience:
The Super Decathlon 1.2m is perfect for RC pilots who have already learned to fly a trainer aircraft successfully and are ready for the next step. It is one of the more manageable and easier-to-fly models in its class, but it is not intended for absolute beginners. Pilots with experience flying models such as the HobbyZone AeroScout 1.1m, Carbon Cub 1.3m, E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.1m, Valiant 1.3m or Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m will find the Super Decathlon to be a rewarding upgrade with scale looks and more dynamic flight capability.
Bind-N-Fly advantage:
The Bind-N-Fly Basic version comes largely ready to fly with power system, ESC, servos and receiver already installed. If you already own a compatible Spektrum transmitter, you simply bind the receiver, complete the final assembly steps and you are ready to fly. This saves time, simplifies setup and provides a highly convenient ownership experience.
