Introduction
This performance model was designed around E-flite’s
Delta-V 15 (69mm) fan unit and matched 15 DF
3200Kv brushless motor. Pilots can use a 4-cell Li-Po
battery pack for great performance. The built-in fan
mounts make installing the fan easy—just drop in
the fan unit and tighten four screws. The removable
magnetic front hatch also allows easy access to the
radio equipment and battery. The entire trim scheme
is prepainted, pre-trimmed; the wings are covered in
UltraCote®. Just add your favorite nose art decals and
enjoy.
