This Beechcraft D18/RC-45J 1.5M scale model captures the look of the iconic twin-engine aircraft. It runs a twin brushless power system, tuned for a good blend of speed and vertical performance. You can use 3S 3200-5000mAh batteries for scale-like flight or step up to a 4S pack for more power, no modifications needed. This is a bind-and-fly model, so it links up to your Spektrum transmitter.
Airframe and Controls
- EPO Airframe: composite-reinforced, lightweight, and durable, finished in a high-visibility white and orange Navy trim.
