E-flite Commander mPd 1.4m BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE Select
by E-flite

Experience a perfect blend of classic aesthetics and high-performance engineering with the E-flite Commander mPd 1.4m BNF Basic. This visionary sport airplane, born from a design collaboration between veteran aircraft designer David Payne and Mirco Pecorari of Aircraft Studio Design, has been completely updated and upgraded to deliver more power, better control, and advanced Smart technology. The lightweight, composite-reinforced EPO airframe features an eye-catching blue and white factory finish that stands out brilliantly in the sky. Beneath its timeless lines, a factory-installed brushless power system combines a specially tuned motor with a 45-amp Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC. This setup provides pilots the flexibility to run on popular 3S LiPo batteries for strong, smooth sport flying, or step up to 4S packs for unlimited vertical authority and higher speeds without needing any mechanical modifications or upgrades.

Designed to serve as an exceptional "next step" or everyday sport model, the Commander mPd 1.4m is equipped with a Spektrum AR631 6-channel receiver featuring fly-by range telemetry and industry-leading DSMX technology. This Bind-N-Fly Basic version features integrated AS3X artificial stabilization to automatically counteract the disruptive effects of wind and turbulence, ensuring a locked-in, large-airplane feel. For transitioning pilots or those seeking an extra layer of protection, optional-use SAFE Select flight envelope technology provides pitch and bank angle limits along with automatic self-leveling at the flip of a switch. Six higher-torque, metal-geared sub-micro servos with precise ball-link equipped linkages drive the control surfaces, while functional flaps expand the airplane's flight envelope for shorter takeoffs, controlled slow-speed flight, and gentle landings. Its innovative hands-free servo connection system automatically links the ailerons and flaps when sliding on the two-piece wing, minimizing field assembly time to under an hour. Whether used by RC hobbyists refining advanced aerobatics like knife-edge and rolling circles, aerospace educational programs studying wing dynamics, or commercial and tactical operators requiring a highly predictable fixed-wing testing platform, this sport plane provides a highly versatile aerial capability.
