E-Flite Beast 60e ARF Electric Biplane

E-Flite Beast 60e ARF Electric Airplane

The E-Flite Beast 60e Almost-Ready-to-Fly biplane embodies everything you'd expect from a design created to deliver stunning feats of aerobatic artistry.  The full-scale Beast is the brainchild of renowned aircraft restoration expert, Kevin Kimball, who actually collaborated with 3D champ Quique Somenzini on its design. Its dramatic ability to flip, roll and tumble with formidable precision inspired the 100cc Hangar 9 Beast that's widely recognized as a modern classic.  For this inaugural 60-sized iteration, the E-flite development team worked closely with Quique to ensure the impressive performance and feel of a larger aircraft came through.  Because it's been designed specifically with the modern electric pilot in mind, every design element takes full advantage of what potent electric power has to offer including engineered construction that's feather-light.  As a result, the Beast 60e is a whole new breed of animal.

Assembly at the field takes just a few minutes and is as simple as installing four screws and four pins.  Flight battery replacement is also fast due to the magnetic slide-lick top hatch that provides instant access to vital electronics.  The recommended E-flite power system was designed around popular and economical 6S Li-Po batteries to provide power you can trust and unlimited performance.  So inspired by the agility and presence of the Beast 60e, E-flite engineers developed an even stronger version of the Power 60 brushless motor so that its fierce aerobatic ability could shine through.
