The E-flite SR-71 Blackbird Twin 40mm EDF (EFL02050) is a BNF Basic RC jet that recreates the iconic Mach 3 reconnaissance aircraft for intermediate to advanced RC pilots. Spanning 19.88 inches (505mm) in wingspan and stretching 37.6 inches (955mm) in length, this twin EDF jet arrives almost completely factory-assembled and binds directly to any full-range 5+ channel Spektrum DSMX or DSM2 transmitter. Built around a lightweight but tough EPO airframe, it's equipped with Spektrum AS3X stabilisation technology and optional-use SAFE Select flight envelope protection, making it the most approachable SR-71 EDF model E-flite has produced. Whether you're taxiing from a smooth runway with the included retractable-style fixed landing gear or hand-launching from grass, this RC plane offers a genuinely unique flying experience.
Key Features
- Twin 40mm EDF fans powered by Spektrum brushless outrunner motors (1820-6800Kv 6-pole) compatible with 4S 14.8V 2200mAh 30C+ LiPo batteries via IC3 connector
- AS3X technology provides real-time gyroscopic correction for locked-in, stable flight in variable conditions
- Optional-use SAFE Select adds flight envelope protection that can be switched off as pilot confidence grows — suited to skill level 3 pilots
- Includes fixed landing gear with a steerable nose wheel for smooth-surface taxi, takeoff, and landing; gear can be removed for hand-launch flying over grass using moulded-in finger grips and automatic Hand Launch Assist Mode
