This is the E-Flite X-VERT VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) Bind-N-Fly Basic Parkflyer. The X-VERT park flyer's simple, tail-sitter design and SAFE technology make it easy for almost anyone to enjoy its amazing VTOL (Vertical TakeOff and Landing) capabilities. Just add a 6+ channel full-range Spektrum DSMX/DSM2 transmitter, a 2S LiPo flight battery and charger, and you can have this Bind-N-Fly Basic version flying in no time.
The X-VERT VTOL gives you all the fun and versatility of a Vertical Take Off and Landing aircraft without the need for complex mechanics or fancy programming. It also makes the transition between multirotor and airplane flight as easy as flipping a switch. You can take the X-VERT flight experience to a whole different level by adding the patent-pending, servo-driven FPV camera mount that automatically transitions your FPV camera whenever the X-VERT is switched between the airplane and multirotor flight modes (FPV components sold separately).

Sleek and Simple DesignA lot of VTOL aircraft require complex mechanisms like tilting wings and motors to achieve vertical and forward flight. The X-VERT park flyers simple, tail-sitter design and SAFE stabilization technology allow it to fly like an airplane or a multirotor using nothing more than differential thrust and its elevons. The simplicity of this design also makes the lightweight, EPO airframe remarkably durable.
Wide, Pilot-Friendly Flight EnvelopeThe light wing loading and efficient aerodynamics inherent in the aircrafts design play a big role in making it easy to fly, especially in airplane mode. Fast or slow, pilots will enjoy smooth, predictable response at any speed.
SAFE Flight Control Software Makes it EasyAt the heart of it all is exclusive SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) flight control software that has been expertly tuned so almost any RC pilot can experience the fun of VTOL flight.
Automated TransitionMaking the transition between multirotor and airplane flight is as simple as flipping a switch. The flight controller will automatically transition the aircraft from one to the other using SAFE technology to stabilize everything so you can relax and have fun.
3 Flight ModesThe advanced flight control software features three flight modes that, along with the models light wing loading and efficient aerodynamics, give you a wide range of performance.
- Multirotor Stability ModeThis mode allows you to take off and land vertically like a multirotor aircraft. Its also great for indoor flight. In this mode the aircrafts tail remains pointed at the ground while the flight controller uses a combination of differential thrust and elevons to control pitch, bank and rotation. Pitch and bank angles are limited, and SAFE technology will work to keep the model in a stable hover whenever you release the sticks.
- Airplane Stability ModeIn this mode the aircraft responds to pitch, roll and yaw commands like a typical airplane. SAFE technology limits pitch and bank angles so new pilots can experience airplane flight without accidentally rolling upside down or losing control. It will also return the wings to level whenever the sticks are released.
- Airplane Acro Mode with AS3X TechnologyIn Airplane Acro Mode the model becomes an agile, fully aerobatic flying wing. There are no angle limits or self-leveling. The large, long-throw elevons will allow you to perform incredibly tight turns as well as a wide range of aggressive aerobatic maneuvers. And because you have the forward thrust of two brushless motors working for you, there is plenty of speed and power to spare. You can even use the differential thrust of the motors for yaw control to perform wild spinning and tumbling maneuvers.
As you fly, AS3X technology works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence. It feels completely natural, too. It wont interfere with or limit your control in any way. You simply enjoy a sense of stability and precision that makes you feel like youre flying a much bigger aircraft.
Customize Your Trim SchemeThe included decal sheet gives you multiple trim scheme themes to choose from a military theme with bomb and rocket decals, and different sport themes with vibrant colors. You can even personalize your trim scheme by mixing and matching decals from different themes.
Super-Simple Transmitter SetupThe model comes equipped with a Spektrum receiver that is built into the flight controller. It can be flown with any full-range, 6+ channel DSMX/DSM2 aircraft transmitter. No complex programming or setup is required. All you have to do is assign switches for the flight mode/transition changes and throttle arming.
FPV ReadyYou can take the X-VERT flight experience to a whole different level by adding the recommended FPV accessories to the space allocated on the airframe (FPV components sold separately). The optional, patent-pending camera mount is servo-driven to transition your FPV camera automatically whenever the X-VERT is switched between the airplane and multirotor flight modes.
