More Information

The Habu STS (Smart Trainer with SAFE) 70 mm EDF was a game-changer that finally made it possible to learn to fly RC aeroplanes successfully with a jet! E-flite engineers also realised that a more powerful and capable version would be even more exciting for low-time to experienced pilots to fly. Enter the Habu SS (Super Sport) 70 mm EDF jet — a modified version of the Habu STS that offers nearly unlimited vertical performance, more speed, and even more aerobatic capability. It has a 4S to 6S compatible power system featuring a specially tuned motor and 70 mm 10-blade fan, along with a telemetry-capable Avian 70 A Smart Lite ESC. The Habu SS is easy enough for a wide variety of low-time pilots with little to no EDF experience to fly successfully — while also being one of the best all-round fun-to-fly and no-hassle high-performance EDF sport jets for experienced pilots too!

Based on the legendary Habu — one of the best first and high-performance EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) sport jet platforms EVER designed — the E-flite Habu SS (Super Sport) 70 mm EDF is a more powerful and more capable version of the popular Habu STS (Smart Trainer with SAFE)! It's a simple, no-hassle, easy, and extremely fun-to-fly high-performance sport jet that's a perfect first-ever EDF for RC pilots with limited experience — while also being one of the best-ever everyday sport jets for experienced pilots. The Habu SS offers the same incredible low-speed handling and performance as the STS, but features updates and upgrades for more aerobatic capability, higher speeds, and nearly unlimited vertical performance. The specially tuned motor and 70 mm 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 3200 mAh batteries, added power with 5S batteries, or nearly unlimited vertical performance and speeds up to 161 km/h (100 MPH) in a dive with 6S 4000 mAh batteries! With Smart and non-Smart batteries, the exclusive 70 A 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 receivers and 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.

Factory-finished in a trim scheme with higher-visibility colours, 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 tyres for sleeker looks and less drag. The wide-stance gear plus steerable nose wheel makes it easy to taxi, take off, and land on paved, dirt, and shorter grass surfaces — or you can install the oversized wheels and tyres from the Habu STS to fly from thicker grass and other rough surfaces. You can also remove the landing gear for more speed and vertical performance with easy hand launches over and belly landings on grass. Best of all, the Habu SS 70 mm EDF assembles quickly and easily without glue or special tools — so you can be ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery!
