E-flite Beechcraft D18 1.5m BNF Basic

Smart technology

The E-flite Beechcraft D18 1.5m RC model aircraft is equipped with a dual Avian controller that can provide a range of real-time telemetry data - engine speed, current, battery voltage. Through compatible RC receivers and transmitters, these data can be seen on the transmitter display. The dual controller supports differential thrust, which improves flight characteristics, taxiing on the ground and allows for special aerobatic maneuvers.

Drive variability

The model is equipped with motors that provide enough traction even when using a 3-cell (11.1 V) LiPo battery. If you require maximum performance, then a 4-cell (14.8 V) battery can be used for the drive.

Detailed design

Thanks to the EPO construction, the surface of the model is highly detailed – sheet metal lines, covers, antennas, cockpit and the like. The details are done accurately to scale.

LED lighting and clacks

The E-flite Beechcraft D18 1.5m model aircraft has LED navigation lights and functional flaps installed. As with a real airplane, both rudders are controlled here.

Retractable chassis

A retractable undercarriage is located in the engine nacelles. The mechanism of the retractable chassis is made of metal. Thanks to the large wheels, it is possible to take off and land from grassy airfields.

Durable construction

RC plane E-flite Beechcraft D18 1.5 m is made of EPO foamed into a mold It is a light and at the same time strong material with a smooth surface. D9ky the model looks great. The use of digital servos with metal gears is a matter of course.

Large space for the battery

The large top hatch allows easy installation of a whole range of drive batteries. The battery is attached to the hull with Velcro.

Easy assembly

The final assembly consists of attaching the ends of the wings to the center plane. Hans-free connector parts are very easy to assemble.

Recommended Spektrum transmitters

To pair the BNF version model, we recommend modern SPEKTRUM programmable transmitters:

• 
  
• 6-channel DX Spektrum DX6e DSMX series transmitter with telemetry, 250 models in memory .
  
• 6-channel transmitter of the NX Spektrum NX6 DSMX series with the latest trends, Smart Technology compatibility, USB port and WiFi connectivity .
  
• 8-channel transmitter of the NX Spektrum NX8 DSMX series with the latest trends, Smart Technology compatibility, USB port and WiFi connectivity .
  

Recommended batteries

To power the model, you need a 11.1 to 14.8 V LiPo drive battery with a capacity of 3200 - 4000 mAh with an IC3 or EC3 connector. We recommend using Spektrum Smart batteries.

• 
  
• For normal flying: LiPo battery Spektrum Smart 11.1V 3200mAh 30C
  
• For longer flights: Spektrum Smart LiPo battery 11.1V 4000mAh 30C
  
• For greater performance: LiPo battery Spektrum Smart 14.8V 4000mAh 30C
  
• For maximum performance and flight time Spektrum Smart 14.8V 5000mAh 30C
  

Spektrum batteries with Smart technology currently represent the most modern and safest way to maintain and charge batteries. The benefits of Spektrum Smart technology can be found here.

Recommended chargers for conventional LiPol and Smart batteries

If you decide to use modern Smart LiPo batteries in RC models of airplanes or helicopters, or to charge your batteries from other manufacturers, then we recommend the following chargers:

• 
  
• Network charger Spektrum S155 with one output 1x 55W .
  
• Network charger Spektrum S1100 with one output 1x 100W .
  
• Network charger Spektrum S2100 with one output 2x 100W .
  
• Network charger Spektrum S2200 with two outputs 2x 200W .
  

Accessories for normal operation

For the normal operation of flying RC models, you need suitable adhesives, a set of tools and a storage case for LiPol batteries. From our assortment, we recommend a quality set of 1.5/2.0/2.5/3.0mm allen screwdrivers and Modelcraft Phillips screwdrivers (set of 6). Modelcraft mini pliers in a case (set) will surely come in handy for assembly and Modelcraft cutting knife with A6 pad for cutting.

For quick repair of model airplanes, we recommend the fast-curing 4-minute Epoxy glue. From our offer, we recommend Speed Epoxy 4 min. 71g

Protective covers for accumulators

Protective packaging is intended to limit the risk associated with the transport and charging of accumulators. LiPo accumulators, while maintaining small dimensions and low weight, can provide high discharge currents and have a large capacity. The LiPo battery is particularly susceptible to mechanical damage and therefore needs to be thoroughly protected.
