E-flite SNJ-5/AT-6 Texan 1.5m AS3X+ SAFE Select BNF Basic

Bind-N-Fly version

Already own a Spektrum™ RC transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft come ready to fly. The motor with speed control, servos and Spektrum 2.4 GHz receiver are installed. So all you have to do is pair the receiver in the model with your compatible transmitter, complete the final assembly and fly (transmitter, battery and charger sold separately).

Smart™ technology

The exclusive Spektrum™ Avian™ Smart ESC provides a range of real-time telemetry data, including motor RPM, current draw, flight battery voltage and more, via the Smart Receiver and compatible Spektrum transmitters equipped with Spektrum AirWare™ technology (DX6e, DX8e, DX6 G2/3, DX8 G2, DX9, NX6, 8 and 10, iX12, iX20 and more). In addition, the receiver comes preloaded with a model file that allows all settings to be imported into the NX and iX series transmitters during pairing. Optionally, the motor thrust reverser can be set.

Detailed processing

The model features a wealth of scale details, including panel lines, a mock-up of the radial engine, a pilot figure, and other elements.

Flaps and landing gear

Factory-installed electric retractable landing gear with covers and split flaps are functional features that take your experience to the next level. Enjoy flying the model with the landing gear retracted and take off and land at lower speeds on the flaps like real pilots.

Universal performance

The brushless motor can be powered by a 3S or 4S LiPo battery with a capacity of 2200–4000 mAh. Install a 3S battery for slow and smooth flying, or a 4S battery for superior performance. The practical top and magnetically secured cover makes it easy to install and remove the battery.

Durability and accuracy

The lightweight yet durable EPO airframe is reinforced with composite for added strength. Digital servos provide reliable and precise control, allowing you to confidently perform aerobatic maneuvers.

Easy assembly

No glue or special tools are required for final assembly. And although it is conveniently sized to fit into many vehicles when fully assembled, you can quickly remove and reinstall the one-piece wing, which is made very easy thanks to the Hands-free connectors.

Iconic coloring

The airframe is factory finished in an iconic scheme based on SNJ-5 101, which still flies with the High Sky Wing – a Commemorative Air Force unit based in Midland, Texas.

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:

• 
  
• Spektrum DX6e DSMX 6-channel DX series transmitter with telemetry, memory for 250 models .
  
• 14-channel NX+ series transmitter Spektrum NX7e+ DSMX with the latest trends, Smart Technology compatibility .
  
• 14-channel NX+ series transmitter Spektrum NX7e+ DSMX Black Edition with the latest trends, Smart Technology compatibility .
  
• 20-channel NX+ series transmitter Spektrum NX8+ DSMX with the latest trends, Smart Technology compatibility, USB port and WiFi connectivity .
  
• 20-channel NX+ series transmitter Spektrum NX10+ DSMX with the latest trends, Smart Technology compatibility, USB port and WiFi connectivity .
  

Recommended batteries

To power the model, we recommend a 3 or 4 cell LiPo battery (11.1 V, 14.8 V).

• 
  
• For normal flying, the Spektrum Smart 11.1 V 2200 mAh 30C IC3 LiPo battery with Smart technology, or the Spektrum Smart G2 11.1 V 2200 mAh 30C IC3 LiPo battery with Smart G2 technology
  
  
• For longer flights, the Spektrum Smart 11.1V 3200mAh 30C IC3 LiPo battery with Smart technology, or the Spektrum Smart G2 11.1V 3200mAh 30C IC3 LiPo battery with Smart G2 technology
  
  
• For maximum performance and aerobatics, the Spektrum Smart 14.8V 3200mAh 50C IC3 LiPo battery with Smart technology, or the Spektrum Smart G2 14.8V 3200mAh 50C IC3 LiPo battery with Smart G2 technology
  
  
  
• For maximum performance, aerobatics and flight time, the Spektrum Smart 14.8V 4000mAh 30C IC3 LiPo battery with Smart technology.
  

Spektrum batteries with technology Smart currently represents the most modern and safest way to maintain and charge batteries. You can find the benefits of Spektrum Smart technology here.

Smart G2 batteries are even simpler and safer, thanks to the absence of a balance connector. G2 batteries also have up to 3x faster automatic discharge to storage mode. Smart G2 batteries can only be charged with Spektrum Smart and Smart G2 chargers.

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.
