Developed in the 1960s to fly faster and higher than all other airplanes and missiles of the time, the SR-71 holds world records for sustained altitude (85,069 feet) and speed (2,193.2 mph\/Mach 3.3). With the E-flite® SR-71 Blackbird Twin 40mm EDF, you can own a replica that’s scaled to be practical for more RC pilots to afford and fly! It’s compatible with popular 4S 2200mAh batteries and is equipped with exclusive Spektrum™ AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies to make it the easiest to fly Blackbird yet. Optional-use fixed landing gear with a steerable nose wheel makes it easy to taxi, takeoff, and land on smooth surfaces, or you can leave the gear off for more speed and vertical performance when flying over grass. Best of all, it arrives factory-finished and nearly ready to fly right out of the box to offer an authentic SR-71 flying experience you can’t get anywhere else!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c!-- Stop Introduction --\u003e \u003c!-- Start Features --\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv id=\"featureListDiv\" class=\"wrapDiv\"\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"featureList\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv id=\"featureListDiv\" class=\"row\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"columns col-lg-6 col-sm-12\"\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAn officially-licensed* replica of the world’s fastest and highest-flying manned aircraft that offers a flying experience unlike any other model\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eThe most affordable, practical and easiest to fly SR-71 EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) jet model yet\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eTwin 40mm fans and outrunner motors compatible with popular 4S 2200mAh 30+C batteries\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eReal-time overall battery voltage, current and other telemetry data via compatible transmitters\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSpektrum™ receiver with fly-by range telemetry and industry-leading 2.4GHz DSMX® technology\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eEasier to fly with innovative and optional-use SAFE® Select flight envelope protection\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eThe unmatched stability and locked-in feel of exclusive AS3X® technology\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"columns col-lg-6 col-sm-12\"\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFour factory-installed servos for separate aileron, elevator and nose gear steering control\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eTake off from and land on smooth surfaces using the included landing gear plus steerable nose wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eRemove the landing gear and utilize the molded-in finger grips plus automatic Hand Launch Assist Mode when flying over grass or other suitable surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFully-molded and extremely durable EPO airframe with plastic and composite reinforcements throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes an extra set of optional-use, red-painted vertical fins that snap into place for improved visibility\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAlmost completely factory-assembled and ready to fly right out of the box\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-applied, fully-painted finish with optional-use “Habu” decal\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c!-- End Features --\u003e \u003c!-- Start Overview --\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv id=\"consumerWebCopyDiv\" class=\"wrapDiv\"\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"consumerWebCopy\"\u003eOverview\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAviation enthusiasts and RC pilots have dreamed of flying an SR-71 someday, and now the E-flite® SR-71 Blackbird Twin 40mm EDF can make that dream a reality!
