E-flite EC-1500 Twin 1.5m PNP RC Airplane
Description:
The E-flite® EC-1500 Twin delivers a truly unique flying experience unlike anything else in its class. Inspired by full-scale civil and military cargo aircraft, this innovative twin-motor design offers unmatched versatility and an exceptionally wide performance range. From smooth, scale-style cruising to spirited sport flying and even aggressive 3D aerobatics, the EC-1500 adapts easily to nearly any flying style. Its ability to operate from pavement, grass, dirt, snow (using the included skis), or water with optional floats makes it one of the most adaptable aircraft available today.
Designed from the ground up for maximum capability and enjoyment, the EC-1500 Twin features twin brushless outrunner motors paired with custom five-blade counter-rotating propellers. These power systems are compatible with both 3S and 4S LiPo batteries, delivering smooth and efficient performance on 3S or the raw power needed for hovering and unlimited vertical climbs on 4S—without requiring any upgrades or modifications. Updated bolt-on prop adapters improve durability while simplifying installation and maintenance.
Power management is handled by an exclusive Spektrum™ Avian™ Dual Smart Lite ESC rated at 40 amps, capable of providing real-time telemetry data such as battery voltage and ESC temperature when paired with compatible receivers and Spektrum AirWare™-equipped transmitters. The Plug-N-Play configuration allows pilots to choose their preferred radio system, while Smart electronics unlock advanced capabilities such as differential thrust and motor reversing for enhanced ground handling and maneuverability.
The EC-1500 Twin is equipped with eight factory-installed servos, including metal-geared units on all primary control surfaces and the functional cargo door. The spacious cargo bay allows pilots to transport and release creative payloads, adding a fun and interactive element to every flight. Integrated LED landing, navigation, and simulated strobe lights extend flying time from early morning to evening, while the fully painted gray finish can be customized using the included military and service-themed decal sets.
Additional features include a removable magnetic nose cone for mounting action cameras like a GoPro®, as well as a dedicated FPV camera mounting position on the oversized top hatch. With its composite-reinforced EPO construction, hands-free wing connections, and nearly complete factory assembly, the EC-1500 Twin offers durability, convenience, and performance in one exceptionally capable aircraft—making it an outstanding choice for intermediate to advanced pilots seeking something truly different.
