Classic Warbird with Amazing Flight Characteristics
The E-flite SNJ-5/AT-6 Texan 1.5m is a rare tribute to the unsung warbird, equipped with an upgraded 3S and 4S compatible power system, including a Spektrum Avian 70A Smart Lite ESC. Before student pilots during World War II became hot-shot Allied fighter jocks, they first needed to gain experience using an advanced trainer. The tough AT-6 Texan gave them the ability to handle all the bad habits of a fighter and become well-disciplined with a high level of respect for their aircraft. U.S. Navy pilots flew the airplane extensively under the SNJ designation, and today, hundreds of AT-6s continue to fly, serving well beyond their trainer role. This Bind-N-Fly model needs a compatible Spektrum Transmitter, a battery, and a charger to get in the air.
About the SNJ-5/AT-6 Texan
Scale Detail
The lightweight yet durable, composite-reinforced and fully molded EPO airframe is equipped with an abundance of scale detail, including panel lines, simulated radial engine, a pilot figure, and more. Factory-installed retracts with strut covers, plus operational split flaps, are functional scale features that take your experience to another level.
Assembly
No glue or special tools are required for final assembly, so you can have the SNJ-5/AT-6 Texan 1.5m ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery! And although it's conveniently sized to fit fully assembled in many vehicles, you can remove the one-piece wing with hands-free connections for easier storage and transport.
Power System
The factory-installed Spektrum brushless outrunner motor is 3S and 4S compatible to offer a wide range of “mild to wild” performance – from scale flying and performing basic aerobatics with 3S batteries to unlimited vertical plus unexpected aggressive aerobatic performance with 4S batteries! The convenient top-mounted and magnetically secured hatch makes it easy to install and remove common and popular 2200–4000mAh batteries (batteries not included).
