E-flite Habu SS (Super Sport) 50mm EDF Jet PNP

The original E-flite Habu SS 50mm 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! This updated and upgraded version features an improved airframe equipped with a more powerful 3S and 4S compatible power system that delivers even more performance and flexibility. .pdp-parts-text { font-family: anton, sans-serif; color: #000000; text-align: center; font-weight: 500; font-size: 2rem; padding: 1rem 0; } .pdp-parts-btn { border-radius: 4px; width: 200px; height: 50px; letter-spacing: 0; font-size: 17px; margin: .5rem; text-transform: none; } .pdp-parts-border { border: 1px solid #e1e1e1; } Looking For Parts?

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 50mm EDF is the most affordable and convenient version yet, scaled down from the popular Habu STS (Smart Trainer with SAFE) and SS (Super Sport) 70mm 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 1300–2200mAh batteries. Both versions include a Spektrum Avian 30-amp Smart Lite ESC and four factory-installed servos. Plus, the BNF Basic version is now equipped with an upgraded AR631+ receiver to deliver real-time telemetry data along with enhanced AS3X+, SAFE Select, and Smart Transmitter File (STF) technologies.

The E-flite Habu SS (Super Sport) 50mm 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 optimized 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 50mm 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 50mm fan with a wide range of 3S – or now 4S – batteries. Install a 1300mAh battery to keep the weight down, an 1800mAh battery for an excellent blend of performance, or a 2200mAh 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 (including the AR631+) and Spektrum AirWare-equipped transmitters. Wide-stance tricycle landing gear with a steerable nose wheel offers excellent ground handling for easier takeoffs 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 BNF Basic version is equipped with an upgraded AR631+ receiver to deliver real-time telemetry data along with enhanced AS3X+, optional-use SAFE Select and motor/thrust reversing, along with a convenient Smart Transmitter File. The Habu SS 50mm EDF arrives factory-finished in a high-contrast trim scheme with the power system, servos, and receiver (BNF Basic version only) factory-installed. That means you can be ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery!

If you're completely new to flying RC (Radio Controlled) aircraft, we recommend learning to fly with one of our purpose-built trainer aircraft, such as the E-flite Habu STS (Smart Trainer with SAFE) 70mm EDF (www.horizonhobby.cc/HabuSTSRTF). It's equipped with exclusive and innovative SAFE technology that makes it possible for almost anyone to learn to fly successfully! The Ready-To-Fly (RTF) Basic version includes almost everything needed to fly in one box (except for the battery and charger) and is the perfect choice if you're a new RC pilot.
