E-flite Habu SS (Super Sport) 50mm EDF Jet BNF Basic with AS3X+ and SAFE Select

The original E-flite Habu SS 50 mm EDF was highly rated and reviewed as an affordable and convenient high-performance EDF sport jet that’s perfect for low-time RC pilots making their “next step” into jet flying – and as one of the best everyday EDF models for more experienced pilots, too!

More Information

Based on one of the best first and high-performance EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) sport jet platforms ever designed - the legendary Habu - the E-flite Habu SS 50 mm EDF is the most affordable and convenient version yet, scaled down from the popular Habu STS (Smart Trainer with SAFE) and SS (Super Sport) 70 mm EDFs. It's the perfect first-ever EDF for low-time RC pilots making the transition into jet flying, and one of the best-ever everyday sport jets for experienced pilots! This updated and upgraded version features a stronger and stiffer airframe equipped with a now 3S and 4S capable power system compatible with extremely common and popular 1300–2200 mAh batteries.

The E-flite Habu SS (Super Sport) 50 mm EDF is ideal for pilots of almost any skill level, from low-time to experienced, seeking a hassle-free and fun-to-fly high-performance EDF sport jet. The unique and optimised design of its lightweight yet durable, composite-reinforced EPO airframe improves low-speed handling and slow-speed performance, making it one of the easiest to fly jets EVER! This updated and upgraded version features an improved airframe that's stronger and stiffer than before. And unlike other 50 mm class models, it has a functional – and enlarged – rudder for added control and aerobatic capabilities. Inside, a Spektrum Avian 30-amp Smart Lite ESC and upgraded high-power brushless outrunner motor are ready to drive the 12-blade 50 mm fan with a wide range of 3S – or now 4S – batteries. Install a 1300 mAh battery to keep the weight down, an 1800 mAh battery for an excellent blend of performance, or a 2200 mAh battery for maximum power delivery and long flight times. With Smart and non-Smart batteries, the ESC can provide a variety of real-time power system telemetry data, including motor RPM, current, battery voltage, and more via compatible receivers and Spektrum AirWare-equipped transmitters. Wide-stance tricycle landing gear with a steerable nose wheel offers excellent ground handling for easier take-offs and landings on surfaces ranging from paved and fabric runways to dirt and even short grass. It's also easy to hand-launch and belly land without the landing gear installed. The Habu SS 50 mm EDF arrives factory-finished in a high-contrast trim scheme with the power system and servos factory-installed. That means you can be ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery!
