E-flite Sportix 1.1m AS3X+ SAFE Select BNF Basic

Smart™ technology

The exclusive Spektrum™ Avian™ Smart ESC provides a range of real-time telemetry data, including engine RPM, current draw, flight battery voltage and more, via the Smart AR631+ receiver and compatible Spektrum transmitters equipped with Spektrum AirWare™ technology (DX6e, DX8e, DX6 G2/3, DX8 G2, DX9, NX6, 8 & 10, iX12, iX20 and more) during flight. In addition, optional engine RPM reversal can be used to shorten landing range (minimum 5-6+ channel transmitter required).

Performance and versatility

The factory-installed brushless drive includes a 45A Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC and a specially tuned motor that provides great thrust with a 3S 2200mAh LiPo battery or greater speed and nearly unlimited vertical power with a 4S 3200mAh battery.

Easy assembly

With no glue required for final assembly, you can have the Sportix 1.1m ready to fly in less time than any other plane! And while it's conveniently sized to fit fully assembled in a car, you can dismantle the two-piece wing for even easier storage and transport. Built-in wing locks and hands-free servo connection mean you can remove/install the wing almost instantly without the use of any tools or fasteners.

Durability and accuracy

The lightweight yet durable EPO airframe is reinforced with composite for added strength, and factory-installed digital servos with metal gears and ball-jointed forks provide crisp, precise control in every situation.

AS3X™ stabilization

The Spektrum receiver is equipped with AS3X technology, which helps stabilize the model in flight. The receiver contains a three-axis MEMS gyro and accelerometer, and thanks to electronic stabilization, the control of the model is simplified, for example in windy weather. The model reacts similarly to a much larger model and its flight is calm, without maintaining its full controllability. AS3X brings more confidence in control.

SAFE Select™ technology for beginners

Thanks to the SAFE Select technology, even a less experienced pilot can control the model . The SAFE system prevents over-banking in turns and also limits climb and descent. Simply releasing the controller's control sticks returns the model to level flight. These functions will be appreciated especially by novice pilots who are not yet fully confident in controlling the models.

As the name SAFE Select suggests, it is an optional feature - it is up to you whether you want to use or disable SAFE technology. The pairing method determines whether the SAFE function should be enabled or disabled. It is also possible to disable or enable the SAFE function during flight using a free transmitter channel.

Benefits of SAFE Select™:

• 
  
• It limits the maximum bank of the model and thus prevents the model from going into a spin.
  
• Automatically puts the model into horizontal flight when you release the transmitter control sticks
  
• Using a free channel, the SAFE system can be turned on or off during flight.
  

Recommended Spektrum transmitters

For pairing the BNF version model, we recommend modern programmable SPEKTRUM transmitters:

•

Recommended batteries

To power the model, we recommend a LiPol battery with 3 or 4 cells (11.1 V, 14.8 V).

• 
  
• For regular flying, the Spektrum SMART 11.1 V 2200 mAh 30C IC3 LiPo battery with Smart technology.
  
• For longer flights, the Spektrum Smart LiPo 11.1V 3200mAh 30C IC3 LiPo battery.
  
• For maximum performance and aerobatics, the Spektrum Smart LiPo 14.8V 2200mAh 50C IC3 battery with Smart technology
  

Spektrum batteries with Smart technology are currently the most modern and safest way to maintain and charge batteries. Find out the benefits of Spektrum Smart technology here.

Recommended chargers for conventional LiPol and Smart batteries

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

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

Accessories for normal operation

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

For quick repairs of aircraft models, we recommend a fast-curing 4-minute Epoxy glue. From our offer, we recommend Speed Epoxy 4 min. 71g

Protective covers for batteries

Protective packaging is designed to reduce the risk associated with transporting and charging batteries. LiPo batteries can provide high discharge currents and have a large capacity while maintaining small dimensions and low weight. LiPo batteries are particularly susceptible to mechanical damage and therefore need to be carefully protected.
