Skill Level 4 – Advanced Pilots (Advanced Experience Required)
Skill Level 4 aircraft, like this one, are suitable for more experienced RC pilots who already have the skills to assemble, set up and fly similar class models. This PNP version requires more experience and skills to assemble and fly than the BNF Basic version because you will need to install a receiver that does not already include properly tuned AS3X+ and SAFE Select technologies. You should have the experience and skills necessary to successfully fly models like the E-flite ElectroStreak 1.1m, V1200 1.2m, 1.2m to 1.5m warbirds, 64mm and larger EDF, or other similar class models before attempting to fly the PC-21 1.3m PNP version.
Plug-N-Play® Completion Level
The Plug-N-Play (PNP) version comes out of the box with a factory-installed power system and servos that are ready to connect to the compatible receiver of your choice (sold separately), plus the transmitter and battery you provide (also sold separately). Simply install the receiver, finish any final assembly, and fly!
Smart Technology
The PC-21 1.3m is equipped with an exclusive Spektrum Avian Smart ESC that can provide a variety of real-time power system related telemetry data including overall battery voltage and more – with Smart and non-Smart batteries – via compatible receivers 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. 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.
Choose Your Performance
The PC-21 1.3m is factory-equipped with a high-power brushless power system that gives you the option to choose the performance you prefer with common and popular 6S 4000–7000mAh batteries. Install the included 5-blade prop and spinner for less noise and to deliver unlimited vertical performance plus level-flight top speeds up to 100+ MPH. Or install the included 2-blade spinner and an optional APC 12x12E prop (sold separately) to achieve even higher speeds at significantly less current draw for longer flight times with the same batteries.
Strength and Precision
Speed is nothing without the right balance of strength and precise control. The PC-21's stunning and sleek airframe is molded in high-density EPO that results in a stronger and stiffer airframe. It's also composite-reinforced including multiple carbon fiber spars throughout the wing, fuselage and tails. Plus, it's equipped with metal-geared servos and linkages with ball-links that deliver the precise control and reliability you need to enjoy flying scale-like or fast flight after flight.
Functional Features
Operational flaps with true-to-scale hinges and hidden linkages offer improved slow-flight capability and performance while also making it possible to take off and land in shorter distances and at slower speeds. Durable and reliable electric retracts with shock-absorbing and heavy-duty trailing link struts make it possible to fly from a variety of surfaces including pavement, dirt and short grass.
Easy Assembly
No glue is required for assembly and you can have the PC-21 1.3m ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery! With a total of eight hex head screws, the vertical stabilizer and the two-piece wing bolt into place and can easily be removed for convenient storage and transport. Plus, the horizontal stabilizers snap into/out of place without the use of any tools or fasteners.
Scale Details
Nose gear doors plus LED landing, navigation, and anti-collision lights, exhaust stacks, simulated antennas, and more are features that take your scale experience to another level.
