This is the E-Flite Viking Model 12 280 Bind-N-Fly Basic Airplane. The E-flite Viking Model 12 280 model is an aggressive 3D recreation of the sensational full-scale aerobatic biplane. Up front is a brushless 280-size outrunner motor thats incredibly powerful on a 3S Li-Po battery. Lightweight molded foam construction helps deliver the best power-to-weight ratio and stunning finish of the Viking trim scheme. But its the specially tuned Spektrum AR6335 6-channel receiver with AS3X technology that delivers a 3D park flyer without equal. Thats because the AS3X system has been specially tuned for this biplane to fight the effects of wind and turbulence so all you experience is a locked-in control feel comparable to flying an expertly tuned aerobat thats much larger.
Whether youre an experienced park pilot looking for a great 3D biplane or a 3D expert who wants a super-convenient aerobatic thrill machine, the E-flite Viking Model 12 280 is ideal. All you need to start flying today is your favorite full range 4+ channel programmable aircraft transmitter with Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM2/DSMX technology and a charged 450mAh 3S 30C 11.1V Li-Po battery.
