Habu SS 50mm EDF BNF Basic

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Jet Performance for the Local Park! If you love the forgiving nature and thrilling speed of the legendary Habu 70mm but simply don't have access to a massive flying club runway, the Habu SS 50mm is exactly what you need. The Hobby Hideaway Team loves this scaled-down Super Sport jet because it brings true EDF performance to smaller spaces. It is perfectly sized to be tossed in the trunk fully assembled and flown at local sports complexes or large parks. Thanks to its lightweight design and advanced flight stabilization, it's an incredibly fun, low-stress jet that is perfect for intermediate pilots transitioning to jets or experienced pilots looking for a relaxing everyday flyer.

3S Power & Park-Flyer Convenience Despite its compact size, the Habu SS 50mm is packed with modern tech. It features a factory-installed 50mm 12-blade fan paired with a high-RPM brushless motor and a 30A Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC that runs on accessible, affordable 3S LiPo batteries. Because this is a Bind-N-Fly (BNF) Basic model, it comes with a Spektrum receiver featuring AS3X technology to lock in your flight path and smooth out the effects of wind, along with optional SAFE Select flight envelope protection. It even feeds real-time telemetry, including overall flight battery voltage, directly to your compatible Spektrum transmitter so you always know exactly how much "fuel" you have left!

Key Features & Technical Specs:

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

• 3S EDF Power: Equipped with a 50mm 12-blade fan, high-power brushless motor, and a 30A Smart Lite ESC optimized for 3S 1300mAh–2200mAh LiPo batteries.

• Smart Telemetry: The onboard electronics provide real-time flight battery voltage and other telemetry data to compatible Spektrum transmitters.

• 100% Factory Assembled: Arrives completely built right out of the box with zero glue or assembly required.

• Versatile Landing Gear: Includes a steerable nose wheel and main gear for paved runways, which easily pop off for hand launches and grass belly landings.

• Durable Construction: Molded from lightweight but incredibly tough EPO foam for excellent durability and easy maintenance.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: Because this is a compact 50mm jet, the included landing gear wheels are quite small. If your only flying spot is a grass park or soccer field, those tiny wheels will easily get snagged! We highly recommend removing the landing gear altogether for grass flying. The Habu SS 50mm features molded-in finger grips on the bottom of the fuselage specifically designed to make hand launching a breeze. Give it a firm, level toss directly into the wind at full throttle, and when your flight is over, simply chop the throttle and let it glide in for a smooth belly landing on the soft grass.
