E-flite adds another eXtreme Ultra Micro...


E-flite’s UMX Extra 300 3D is an indoor single-wing ultra-micro aircraft created for the intermediate to advanced skilled pilot to experience 3D aerobatic flight all in one convenient Bind-N-Fly package for DSM2 aircraft transmitter owners.

The Ultra Micro eXtreme (UMX) Extra 300 3D makes the dream of a 3D plane you can fly almost anywhere a reality. With a flying weight of barely over an ounce (just 33 grams), battery and all, it is slow and light enough to fly extreme 3D maneuvers in spaces no larger than a dining or conference room. Its ingenious laser-cut foam airframe, designed by ETOC champ Seth Arnold, makes it all possible.

Habu 32 DF Announced!


E-flite takes ARF ducted fan performance and engineering to new heights with the Habu 32 DF. Designed round the E-flite Delta-V® 32 80mm fan unit and 2150Kv DF32 brushless motor, its hyper-efficient intake and exhaust ducting allows this potent combo to produce large amounts of thrust when powered with a high-C 6S Li-Po pack. And it does so without resorting to drag-inducing cheater holes. The result is a sport EDF with exhilarating speed that will give even experienced jet jockeys goose bumps.  As the first Platinum Series E-flite® ducted fan, the Habu 32 DF also boasts a level of fit and finish that is every bit as impressive as its performance.
