E-flite Manuals & User Guides

E-flite is a premier brand of electric R/C aircraft and accessories, designed and distributed by Horizon Hobby. Established as a leader in the electric flight category, E-flite offers a diverse lineup of model aircraft ranging from beginner-friendly trainers to high-performance jets and scale warbirds.

The brand is well-known for pioneering features like Bind-N-Fly® (BNF) technology, which allows pilots to pair aircraft with their existing transmitters seamlessly. Many E-flite models come equipped with advanced stabilization systems such as AS3X® and SAFE® Select, providing smoother flight performance and flight envelope protection. Whether you are looking for a micro indoor flyer or a giant-scale outdoor model, E-flite provides high-quality engineering and comprehensive spare parts support.

• What does Bind-N-Fly (BNF) mean?

  Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft come with a receiver already installed. You simply need to 'bind' the aircraft to your compatible Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter to start flying.

• What is SAFE technology?

  SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology is an electronic flight protection system that prevents over-control and allows for automatic leveling if the pilot loses orientation.

• How do I enable SAFE Select on my E-flite plane?

  SAFE Select is usually enabled during the binding process. Often, you must remove the bind plug before powering on the transmitter or toggle a specific switch sequence. Refer to your specific aircraft's manual for the exact procedure.

• What does AS3X stabilization do?

  AS3X (Artificial Stabilization – 3-axis) works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence, making a smaller model fly like a much larger, professionally tuned aircraft.

• Why is my motor pulsing during flight?

  A pulsing motor is often a sign of Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). This indicates the flight battery is running low, and you should land immediately to recharge or replace the battery.
