    More power and more capabilities with the Habu SS EDF Jet

    When it was released the Habu STS (Smart Trainer with SAFE) was revolutionary as it made it possible to learn to successfully fly an RC Jet! Fast forward and E-flite engineers have realised that novice and experienced pilots alike would like something a little more capable and powerful so the Habu SS (Super Sport) 70mm EDF jet was released as a modified version of the Habu STS. It is a great next step for the novice flyer and will be a superb everyday flyer for experienced pilots.

    Habu Super Sport EDF Jet

    Featuring upgrades and updates the E-flite Habu SS 70mm EDF can perform the same brilliant low-speed handling and performance of the STS but is also capable of higher speeds, greater aerobatics and almost unlimited vertical performance. The 70mm 10-blade fan and specially tuned motor are compatible with 4S to 6S LiPo’s and there’s no need for modifications or upgrades. The power system has been factory-installed and will give you plenty of thrust and speed on 4S 3200mAh, increased power on 5S LiPo’s, and, just about unlimited vertical performance and diving speeds up to 160km/h on 6S 4000mAh LiPos!

    The 70mAh Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC can provide a variety of real-time power system telemetry data with Smart or non-Smart batteries including current, motor RPM, overall battery voltage plus more with the compatible Spektrum AR631 receiver. You will also need a Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitter.

    The composite reinforced EPO airframe has been strengthened to handle the aerobatic capabilities and additional speed and also features a factory finished trim scheme in high-vis colours. The fixed landing gear can be optional use and has smaller diameter tyres and wheels for less drag and a sleek look. You can change the landing gear over on your E-flite Habu SS 70mm EDF to a wide stance gear and a steerable nosewheel which makes taking off and landing on a number of different surfaces so much easier. Alternatively, remove the landing gear altogether and you’ll get more vertical performance and speed and be able to hand launch or belly land. The E-flite Habu SS 70mm EDF is a quick assembly RC Jet which means no special tools or glue are required. You can be ready to take to the skies in the time it takes to charge a battery.

    Exclusive Spektrum technology

    If you own a Spektrum transmitter already then getting the E-flite Habu SS 70mm EDF airborne will be even easier. With the servos, power system and 2.4GHz Spektrum receiver already installed it is simply a matter of binding the receiver to your transmitter and you are ready for take off!

    The Spektrum DSMX receiver fitted in the E-flite Habu SS 70mm EDF features the AS3X (Artificial Stabilization 3 aXis) system that nullifies the effects of turbulence and wind by working behind the scenes to provide increased precision and stability when your RC plane experiences non-optimal flying conditions.

    Safe Select is optional technology that gives the E-flite Habu SS 70mm EDF an extra margin of safety. It enables features that will ensure your flight envelope is limited to keep you out of trouble until you are a better flyer or have familiarized yourself with the controls. No programming is required to engage SAFE Select as it is built into the receiver. You just need to follow the manual directions and change up the binding sequence to switch it on.
