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. And although this is one of the easiest to fly Extra models yet, it's not a suitable first-ever RC aircraft for new pilots or “next step after a trainer” model for low-time pilots. You should have the experience and skills necessary to successfully fly other aerobatic capable models like the E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.1m, Timber X 1.2m, Decathlon RJG 1.2m, Commander mPd 1.4m, or other similar models before attempting to fly the Extra 330SC 3D 1.3m.
Smart Technology
The exclusive Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC provides a variety of real-time power system-related telemetry data including overall battery voltage, current draw, motor RPM, and more – with both 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.
Abundant Power
The included brushless power system features an 85-amp Smart Lite ESC and an outrunner motor equipped with a lightweight wooden propeller that deliver an abundance of scale-like power with 3S batteries, or unlimited vertical performance with 4S 2200–3200mAh batteries. Plus, the motor mount has been strengthened to better handle every power-on flight load possible.
Durable Precision
Construction with lightweight yet durable, composite-reinforced EPO material ensures the best possible flight performance while the factory-installed digital, metal-geared servos and ball-link equipped linkages deliver precise control of the oversized control surfaces whether you're performing sport, precision, or aggressive 3D aerobatic maneuvers.
Authentic Appearance
In addition to the scale outline, this replica is also appointed with a clear canopy and a detailed cockpit that features an instrument panel and a painted pilot figure. Plus the now more durable aluminum landing gear is equipped with fairings and wheel pants that add to the great looks and authentic scale appearance.
Jim Bourke Trim Scheme
Factory-finished in the unique and iconic trim scheme featured on the full-scale Extra 330SC that Jim Bourke – the creator of RCGroups.com and owner of Knife Edge Software that originally developed the RealFlight RC simulator – flies in airshows and competitions around the world.
Bind-N-Fly Completion Level Advantage
Already own a Spektrum™ 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.
