E-flite - EFL-3726
The design of the “Twin Beech" D18 proved so adaptable that Beechcraft Aircraft Corporation eventually produced 32 versions - and more than 9,000 total aircraft - from 1937 to 1969. They served in a wide variety of roles, from passenger transport to mail carrier, and even as a military trainer for navigators and bombardiers. The original E-flite Beechcraft D18 1.5m quickly became known as the most convenient, well-equipped, and easiest-to-fly scale model of the unique aviation icon. Now it's available again with a military trim scheme based on a US Navy variant that first entered service as a navigation trainer, then underwent an overhaul and was reconfigured as a photo reconnaissance trainer in the 1950s. It's outfitted with numerous scale details, as well as functional features such as LED navigation lights, retractable landing gear, and flaps, which further enhance its realism. The 3S and 4S compatible power system features an exclusive Spektrum Avian Dual Smart Lite ESC. The BNF Basic version is also equipped with an AR631 receiver, delivering real-time telemetry data along with AS3X and SAFE Select technologies. The Beechcraft D18/RC-45J 1.5m turns the aviation classic into a modern-day RC marvel that's practical for a wide range of pilots to enjoy!
