E-flite S.E.5a 900mm RC Airplane Introduction

Once called the "Spitfire of World War One" and considered by many pilots to be the best British single-seat fighter of the time, the Royal Aircraft Factory (RAF) SE5 was instrumental in regaining and maintaining allied air superiority in mid-1917. It's one of the most recognizable aircraft of the era, and six manufacturers constructed more than 5000 examples. Inspired by the original ParkZone model, the E-flite® SE5a 900mm features an all-new design that includes more scale detail along with modern-day features and technologies to deliver an unmatched flying experience with surprising capabilities and performance. It bolts and snaps together in almost no time and is small enough to be easy to store and transport without disassembly – so it can be flown at large parks, sports fields, and RC flying fields, too. The BNF Basic version is equipped with enhanced AS3X+® technology that smooths out the effects of wind and turbulence better than ever before. It's also equipped with optional-use SAFE® Select technology that makes it even easier to fly! Both versions include Spektrum digital, metal-geared servos, a 45A Smart Lite ESC, plus a 3S and 4S compatible motor.

E-flite S.E.5a 900mm RC Airplane Overview

The SE5 is one of the most iconic fighters of WWI, yet it's rarely modeled in any scale for RC. The E-flite® SE5a 900mm is a conveniently sized replica that offers unmatched scale detail, modern-day conveniences, features, and technologies to deliver truly unexpected levels of flight performance! It's capable of slow and smooth scale flying plus basic aerobatics – and if you crank up the throws, it's also capable of surprisingly aggressive aerobatics, including snaps, "pop tops," and more. This makes it more fun for intermediate to experienced pilots to fly than any other SE5 model!

It features a variety of scale details, including moulded-in ribs, radiator and exhaust details, machine guns and pilot figure with a scarf, plus optional-use elastic flying wires. Functional features include large scale main wheels and a hidden steerable tailwheel, along with wings and struts that bolt and snap into place for easy assembly and disassembly. Yet it's sized to be easy to store and transport without disassembly and so it can be flown at large parks, sports fields, and RC flying fields. The factory-installed digital and metal-geared servos provide precise and reliable control at every speed. And the power system includes a Spektrum outrunner motor and an Avian 45-amp Smart Lite ESC compatible with popular 3S and 4S 2200-3200mAh batteries. The BNF Basic version is also equipped with a factory-installed Spektrum AR631+ receiver featuring exclusive and enhanced AS3X+® along with optional-use SAFE® Select technologies. Plus, both versions are factory-finished in the classic Royal Flying Corps two-tone with roundels trim scheme.

Skill Level 2 for the E-flite S.E.5a 900mm RC Airplane
Skill Level 2 – Some Experience Required

Skill Level 2 aircraft, like this one, are suitable for RC pilots who already have some experience and the skills to assemble, set up, and fly similar class models. You should have the experience and skills necessary to successfully fly models like the E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.1m, Valiant 1.2m, Commander mPd 1.4m, Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m, or other similar class models before attempting to fly the SE5a 900mm BNF Basic version.

Smart Technology for the E-flite S.E.5a 900mm RC Airplane
Smart Technology

The SE5a 900mm is equipped with an exclusive Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC that can provide a variety of real-time power system-related telemetry data including motor RPM, current, battery voltage, and more – with Smart and non-Smart batteries – via compatible receivers (including the AR631+) and Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6 to 20, iX12 to 20 and others) while you fly. Plus, the receiver is loaded with a Smart Transmitter Model File that allows you to import all settings for NX and iX series transmitters during the binding process.

Flexible Power for the E-flite S.E.5a 900mm RC Airplane
Flexible Power

The factory-installed Spektrum brushless outrunner motor is 3S and 4S compatible to offer a wide range of "mild to wild" performance – from scale flying and performing basic aerobatics with 3S batteries to unlimited vertical plus unexpected aggressive aerobatic performance with 4S batteries! The convenient top-mounted and magnetically secured hatch makes installing and removing common and popular 2200–3200mAh batteries easy.

Durable Precision for the E-flite S.E.5a 900mm RC Airplane
Durable Precision

The lightweight yet durable EPO airframe is composite reinforced for added strength. And the factory-installed digital and metal-geared servos deliver reliable and precise control at every speed to perform slow and scale-like to aggressive aerobatic flying with confidence.

Abundant Scale Detail for the E-flite S.E.5a 900mm RC Airplane
Abundant Scale Detail

The SE5a is equipped with an abundance of scale detail, including moulded-in ribs, radiator and exhaust details, machine guns, a pilot figure with a scarf, and optional-use elastic flying wires.

Easy Assembly for the E-flite S.E.5a 900mm RC Airplane
Easy Assembly

No glue or special tools are required for final assembly so you can have the SE5a 900mm ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery! And although it's conveniently sized to fit fully assembled in almost any vehicle, you can remove the one-piece wings for easier storage and transport. Just a few screws and struts that snap into and out of place easily mean you can remove/install the wings in just a few minutes.

Spektrum AS3X Plus and SAFE technology
Spektrum AS3X Plus and SAFE technology
Bind-N-Fly Completion Level Advantage

Already own a SpektrumT transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make getting into the air quickly and with the best control experience possible easier than ever. They come out of the box with the power system, servos and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed so all you need to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, finish any final assembly, and fly!

This Bind-N-Fly Basic model is equipped with a Spektrum 2.4GHz DSMX® receiver featuring AS3X+ (Artificial Stabilization-3-aXis+) technology that works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence. The result is a heightened sense of stability and precision that makes you feel like you're flying a much larger, expertly tuned aircraft.

If this is your first model of its type, or you want an extra margin of safety while familiarizing yourself with the airplane, you can enable the optional-use SAFE® Select flight envelope protection technology built into the receiver. No programming is required. Simply change up the binding sequence as directed in the manual.

 

With SAFE Select enabled, you get:

Pitch and Bank Angle Limits

  • These envelope limits keep the airplane from rolling or pitching upside down. They also prevent excessive climb or dive angles.

Automatic Self-Leveling

  • The airplane instantly returns to and holds level flight when the sticks are released and in the center position. It's also helpful for keeping the wings level during takeoffs/launches and landings.

Easy Switch Assignment-No Complex Programming Required

  • The simple procedure for assigning a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select features on and off doesn't require any complex programming and takes just a few seconds.

If you don't want to enable the SAFE Select features, just bind the receiver normally and it will function like a standard AS3X+ receiver.
