Description
The E-flite Habu SS 70mm EDF BNF Basic Electric Jet Airplane with SAFE & AS3X, is based on the E-flite Habu. The Habu was one of the best high-performance Electric Ducted Fan (EDF) sport jet platforms. This Habu SS 70mm, EDF has received many updates to provide more performance while being easier to fly. The Habu SS offers the same incredible low-speed handling and performance as the Habu STS, however it features updates and upgrades for more aerobatic capability, higher speeds, and nearly unlimited vertical performance.
The specially tuned motor and 70mm 10-blade fan are compatible with 4S to 6S batteries without the need for modifications or upgrades. This factory-installed power system delivers plenty of speed and thrust with popular 4S 3200mAh batteries, added power with 5S batteries, or nearly unlimited vertical performance and speeds up to 100 MPH in a dive with 6S 4000mAh batteries! With Smart and non-Smart batteries, the exclusive 70-amp Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC can provide a variety of real-time power system telemetry data including motor RPM, current, overall battery voltage and more via compatible Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters. Best of all, a wide range of pilots, even those who have never flown an EDF before, can enjoy flying this model successfully.
The Habu is factory-finished in a trim scheme with higher-visibility colors. The airframe is composite-reinforced and strengthened to handle the added speed and aerobatic capabilities right out of the box. The optional-use fixed landing gear is outfitted with smaller diameter wheels and tires for sleeker looks and less drag. The wide-stance gear plus steerable nosewheel makes it easy to taxi, takeoff, and land on paved, dirt, and shorter grass surfaces. You can also remove the landing gear for more speed and vertical performance with easy hand launches over and belly landings on grass. With these factory installed features, you will be ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery!

Andrew Niedzwiecke Verified Owner Wednesday, May 10 2023 (about 2 years ago) E-flite Habu SS 70mm EDF BNF Basic Electric Jet Airplane w/SAFE & AS3X I am writing this review after I received an Eflite Habu SS 70mm EDF. The plane I received had several problems so on this particular purchase I can’t really rate the plane very high. To state that Amain made effort to make this write would take a long time. Amain customer service for this particular purchase went way, way above what you would expect from any other retailer. They sent me parts to try and finally ended up replacing the airplane. What else can be said? This company has over and over again provided great service both during sale and after sale which is why I have dealt with them for years and will continue to. A quick add to this review. I bought this plane to replace the same model which met an untimely end. This plane is awesome. I am new to EDF’s and this plane makes the transition from prop planes to EDF’s a breeze. I will continue to buy Eflite products because they truly are great planes to get in the air.

Recommended for beginners in EDF and pilots looking for simple acrobatic rc plane.
Good size for easy transport too. 1 customer found this review helpful. View all reviews
