F-15 64mm BNF Basic w/AS3X & SAFE

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Command the Skies with an Air Superiority Legend! The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle is arguably one of the most recognizable and successful fighter jets in modern military history, and the Hobby Hideaway Team absolutely loves how E-flite has captured its aggressive silhouette in this park-friendly 64mm EDF. If you are looking to step up from your EDF trainer or want a scale military jet that won't break the bank (or require a massive vehicle to transport), this is a phenomenal choice. It delivers the thrilling speed and locked-in handling you expect from an air superiority fighter, while still remaining incredibly approachable for intermediate pilots.

Thrilling 4S Power & Fighter Jet Agility While the full-size F-15 is a twin-engine beast, this brilliantly engineered 64mm version utilizes a single, highly efficient 11-blade ducted fan paired with a 4S-compatible brushless motor and 40A ESC. This setup provides fantastic thrust, a fantastic turbine-like sound, and thrilling vertical performance. Because it is a Bind-N-Fly (BNF) Basic model, it comes with a Spektrum receiver featuring AS3X technology, which constantly works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence. It also includes the optional SAFE Select flight envelope protection, giving you a safety net as you get accustomed to the speed and agility of a true fighter jet.

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• Bind-N-Fly Basic: Includes a factory-installed Spektrum receiver equipped with AS3X smoothing technology and optional SAFE Select to build pilot confidence.

• Potent 4S EDF Power: Features a 64mm 11-blade fan, a high-RPM brushless outrunner motor, and a 40A ESC optimized for 4S 2200mAh LiPo batteries.

• Iconic Fighter Styling: Accurately replicates the aggressive, twin-tail silhouette of the legendary F-15 Eagle air superiority fighter.

• Versatile Landing Gear: Comes with fixed landing gear and a steerable nose wheel for smooth runways, which can be easily removed for hand launches and grass belly landings.

• Durable Construction: Molded from lightweight, composite-reinforced EPO foam for excellent rigidity and easy repairs.

• Magnetic Nose Cone: Features a magnetically secured nose cone that looks great and easily pops off in the event of a hard landing to prevent permanent damage.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: If you fly at a grass park and decide to remove the landing gear for belly landings, managing your throttle on the final approach is absolutely critical! Because the F-15 has large, open air intakes on the sides of the fuselage, a spinning EDF unit acts like a giant vacuum cleaner. Always remember to completely cut your throttle right before the jet slides onto the grass. This prevents the fan from sucking up loose dirt, grass clippings, and small pebbles that could easily chip or shatter those high-RPM fan blades!
