E-flite Pilatus PC-21 RC Airplane Introduction

The Pilatus PC-21 is an advanced training platform developed specifically to meet the needs of modern pilots. Designed and built in Switzerland, it features a turboprop engine to deliver jet-like performance and high-G capability, making it the top choice of numerous air forces around the world. The E-flite® PC-21 1.3m (1.45m L) is a tribute to the unique design featuring a variety of scale details along with functional retracts and flaps, plus landing and navigation lights. It's equipped with a 5-blade propeller, a specially tuned brushless motor, and a Spektrum™ Avian™ 100A Smart ESC compatible with 6S 4000–7000mAh batteries to deliver unlimited vertical performance and level-flight top speeds up to 100+ MPH. The BNF Basic version also includes a telemetry-capable AR637TA+ receiver with enhanced AS3X+®, optional-use SAFE® Select, and convenient Smart Transmitter File technologies that make it even easier for a wide range of pilots to fly and enjoy!

E-flite Pilatus PC-21 RC Airplane Overview

The E-flite® Pilatus PC-21 1.3m (1.45m L) is designed to be the most convenient and capable scale model of the modern advanced training platform from Pilatus yet! It features an abundance of scale details and functional features, including LED landing, navigation, and anti-collision lights, as well as flaps with true-to-scale hinges and hidden pushrods. Factory-installed electric retracts with durable metal components, including shock-absorbing and heavy-duty trailing link struts, make it possible to take off from a wide variety of surfaces, including paved runways, packed dirt, and even some grass.

The sleek EPO airframe is composite-reinforced throughout and is factory-finished with a premium fully-painted plus waterslide decal trim scheme. Best of all, no glue is required for assembly – a total of eight hex head screws secure the vertical stabilizer and the two-piece wing with hands-free connections, and the horizontal stabilizers snap into/out of place without the use of any tools or fasteners. That means you can be ready to enjoy an authentic PC-21 flying experience unlike any other in less time than it takes to charge a battery!

Both versions include seven factory-installed metal-geared servos with ball-link equipped linkages. They deliver precise and reliable control for everything from scale to high-speed, pattern-like, and even aggressive aerobatic flying – especially the BNF Basic version that's equipped with a factory-installed AR637TA+ receiver featuring enhanced AS3X+® and optional-use SAFE® Select Select technologies. The receiver is also loaded with a Smart Transmitter File (STF) that allows you to automatically import all settings for NX and iX series transmitters during the binding process so you can be flying in less time than ever before.

The specially-tuned brushless outrunner motor and Spektrum™ Avian™ 100-amp Smart ESC are compatible with popular and common 6S 4000–7000mAh batteries. You can install the included 5-blade prop and spinner to deliver unlimited vertical performance and level-flight top speeds up to 100+ MPH. Or you can install the included 2-blade spinner and an optional APC 12x12E prop (APC12012E, sold separately) to achieve even higher speeds at significantly less current draw for longer flight times. The ESC can provide a variety of real-time power system telemetry data with both Smart and non-Smart batteries via compatible receivers (including the AR637TA+ installed in the BNF Basic version) and Spektrum AirWare-equipped transmitters. With a 7–8+ channel transmitter, you can also utilize the optional-use motor/thrust reversing to shorten rollouts after landing and for other unique ground handling capabilities.

All these details and features combine to deliver a convenient and extremely capable scale replica of the PC-21 that's an excellent choice for intermediate to experienced pilots!
