Overview
The E-flite Battery Straps with Mounting Plates for the Habu SS 50mm EDF represent an essential spare part and maintenance item for RC electric ducted fan enthusiasts across the UK.

RC hobbyists who fly electric ducted fan models understand the critical importance of secure battery mounting.

These battery straps with mounting plates are identified by manufacturer number 605482157060 and come from E-flite, a recognised brand trusted by RC aircraft enthusiasts worldwide. The product represents a straightforward refresh option for anyone whose current battery restraint system has become worn, stretched, or damaged through regular use. By stocking genuine E-flite replacement parts, RC Model Shop ensures you have access to authentic components that integrate seamlessly with your Habu SS 50mm EDF airframe.
Key Features
- Purpose-designed for Habu SS 50mm EDF — These battery straps and mounting plates are engineered specifically for the Habu SS 50mm EDF airframe, ensuring perfect fit and compatibility without requiring modifications or workarounds that could compromise your aircraft's performance or safety.
- Complete strap and plate assembly — The product includes both the flexible battery strap and the mounting plates, so you receive a complete replacement system rather than partial components, allowing for a straightforward installation process.
- Secure battery retention — The strap and plate design work together to firmly hold your flight battery in place during all phases of flight, from takeoff through manoeuvres to landing, preventing battery movement that could affect weight distribution and flight stability.
- Essential maintenance item — As straps naturally wear and weaken over time through repeated use, having genuine replacement straps ensures your battery remains securely mounted and maintains the airworthiness of your aircraft.
- Genuine E-flite component — Sourced directly from E-flite, these are authentic parts manufactured to original specifications, guaranteeing compatibility and reliability with your Habu SS 50mm EDF model.
- Easy field-box spare — These lightweight straps with mounting plates are ideal for keeping in your RC field box or flying bag as a convenient spare, ready to deploy if your current straps require replacement during a flying session.
Technical Performance
The E-flite Battery Straps with Mounting Plates represent a straightforward but essential component in the battery retention system of the Habu SS 50mm EDF electric ducted fan aircraft. The design combines flexible strap material with rigid mounting plates to create a system that effectively distributes the weight of your flight battery whilst keeping it immobilised during flight. The strap material is designed to maintain flexibility whilst resisting stretching, a critical requirement for aircraft safety because a loose or sagging battery would shift the centre of gravity and potentially render your aircraft unflyable or dangerously unstable. The mounting plates provide solid anchor points within the airframe, allowing the straps to be secured tightly without slipping or gradually loosening during flight. For RC aircraft enthusiasts in the UK who fly regular patrol missions or competitive aerial events, having a spare set of battery straps and mounting plates means you can quickly recover from wear-related failures and maintain your aircraft in airworthy condition. The engineering of these components reflects E-flite's understanding of the demands placed on battery retention systems by high-speed ducted fan aircraft, where vibration levels and aerodynamic forces are considerably greater than in traditional wing-mounted models.
