Whether you're a low-time pilot looking for a “next step” model after mastering your trainer and you're interested in learning to perform more advanced aerobatics, or you're an experienced pilot looking for an all-around fun-to-fly sport model, the E-flite Sportix 1.1m is a perfect choice. It's designed to be capable of basic, precision, and aggressive aerobatics, while also being smooth, stable, and predictable in every phase of flight. It was also designed to include a variety of modern-day features and conveniences from LED navigation lights to a two-piece horizontal stabilizer and wings with hands-free servo connections that can be installed and removed without the use of tools or fasteners. Yet it's also conveniently sized to be easy to store and transport without disassembly – and so it can be flown at large parks and sports fields as well as RC flying fields. Factory-installed digital and metal-geared servos with ball-link equipped linkages provide precise and reliable control at every speed. The power system includes a Spektrum outrunner motor and an Avian 45-amp Smart Lite ESC that are compatible with popular 3S and 4S 2200-3200mAh batteries. And the BNF Basic version is equipped with a factory-installed Spektrum AR631+ receiver featuring exclusive and enhanced AS3X+ along with optional-use SAFE Select technologies.
