PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Take the next step into, hone your skills, and perform basic to aggressive aerobatics with the E-Flite Super Decathlon 1.2m - one of the most capable and best-handling models of the classic aerobatic trainer ever! Like the original Decathlon RJG 1.2m, it's a replica of the aviation icon that's flown by professional pilots in airshows and pilots learning to fly aerobatics at their local airport. It's factory-finished with the popular and extremely recognizable red, white, and black "starburst" trim scheme, plus it features a variety of scale details, including functional LED landing and navigation lights, wheel pants, and wing struts. The one-piece wing is easy to install/remove thanks to hands-free connections and thumbscrews, and the struts snap into/out of place without the need for any fasteners or tools - even though it's conveniently sized to be easy to store and transport without disassembly! Improved digital and metal-geared servos, along with ball-link equipped linkages, provide even more precise and reliable control for smooth sport to aggressive aerobatic flying. Both versions feature a 3S and 4S 2200-3200mAh compatible power system, including a 45-amp Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC. The BNF Basic version is also equipped with an upgraded AR631+ receiver to deliver real-time telemetry data, enhanced AS3X+, optional-use SAFE Select and motor reversing, and a convenient Smart Transmitter File. All these details and features combine to deliver a convenient and extremely capable scale model that's an excellent choice for low-time, intermediate, and experienced pilots!

BNF Basic - Skill Level 2
Next Step After a Trainer aircraft, like this one, are suitable for RC pilots who have successfully learned to fly a trainer model and those with the skills to assemble, set up, and fly similar class models. And although this is one of the best-handling and easiest-to-fly Decathlon models ever, it's not a suitable first-ever RC aircraft for new pilots. You should have the experience and skills necessary to successfully fly a trainer model like the HobbyZone AeroScout 1.1m and Carbon Cub 1.3m, or models like the E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.1m, Valiant 1.3m, Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m, and other similar class models before attempting to fly the Super Decathlon 1.2m.
PNP - Skill Level 3
The PNP Version is suitable for more experienced RC pilots who already have the skills to assemble, set up, and fly similar class models. This PNP version requires more experience and skills to assemble and fly than the BNF Basic version because you will need to install a receiver that does not already include properly tuned AS3X+ and SAFE Select technologies. It's not a suitable first-ever RC aircraft for new pilots or "next step after a trainer" model for low-time to intermediate RC pilots. You should have the experience and skills necessary to assemble and successfully fly models like the E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.1m, Valiant 1.3m, Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m, or other similar class models before attempting to fly the Super Decathlon 1.2m PNP version.
Easy Assembly
Final assembly requires no glue, and you can have the Super Decathlon 1.2m ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery! The convenient size allows it to fit fully assembled in just about any vehicle, or you can remove the one-piece wing for even easier storage and transport. Thumbscrews, hands-free connections, and quick-release struts let you remove or install the wing in just a few minutes without tools.
Versatile Power
The factory-installed brushless power system features a 45-amp Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC and a specially tuned motor that delivers abundant thrust with a 3S 2200mAh LiPo battery, or more speed and unlimited vertical performance with up to a 4S 3200mAh battery, without the need for any modifications or upgrades.
Iconic Scheme
Factory-finished in the classic red, white, and black "starburst" trim scheme that's extremely recognizable from full-scale Super Decathlon aircraft.
Scale Features
Functional LED landing and navigation lights, wing struts, and wheel pants are scale features that take your experience to another level.
Bind-N-Fly Completion Level
Already own a Spektrum transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make getting into the air quickly and with the best control experience possible easier than ever. They come out of the box with the power system, servos, and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed, so all you need to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, finish any final assembly, and fly!
Exclusive Technology
The BNF Basic version Super Decathlon 1.2m is equipped with a factory-installed Spektrum AR631+ receiver that features exclusive Spektrum AS3X+ and SAFE Select technologies. Enhanced AS3X+ works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence better than ever before to deliver an even more locked-in feel that makes it seem like you're flying a much larger airplane. With optional-use SAFE Select, you can activate pitch and bank angle limits along with automatic self-leveling at the flip of a switch! If you don't want to enable the SAFE Select features, simply bind the receiver normally, and only AS3X+ will be active.
Plug-N-Play Completion Level
The Plug-N-Play (PNP) version comes out of the box with a factory-installed power system and servos, ready to connect to a compatible receiver of your choice (sold separately), along with the transmitter and battery you provide (also sold separately). Simply install the receiver, finish any final assembly, and fly!
