E-flite Ultra Stick 1.1m BNF Basic

E-flite Ultra Stick 1.1m BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE Select

The E-flite Ultra Stick 1.1m is based on the design of larger Hangar 9 Ultra Stick models and was inspired by the iconic Mini Ultra Stick. In 2005 the Mini Ultra Stick became an all-time top-seller as E-flite’s first-ever “wood” PNP and ARF model that bolted together so it could be assembled as easily and in as little time as foam PNP models. It also offered the benefits that strong, stiff and lightweight, built-up wood construction offered – which delivered flight performance unlike moulded foam models. The Ultra Stick 1.1m is an updated, upgraded, and more refined version of the Mini Ultra Stick. The balsa and lite-ply airframe is still lightweight yet features stiffer tail surfaces – that install quickly and easily with just two locknuts – and a stronger mounting area for the main gear installed with four bolts. The one-piece wing is easy to install and remove thanks to the single thumbscrew, plus it’s set up to accept two additional servos so you can split the ailerons for “crow” and/or flaps plus full-span aileron/flaperon/spoileron setups.

The BNF (Bind-N-Fly) Basic version is equipped with four factory-installed metal-geared servos, a 3S and 4S compatible Spektrum motor, and an exclusive Avian 45-amp Smart Lite ESC that can provide a variety of real-time power system telemetry data with Smart and non-Smart batteries via compatible Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters. It’s also equipped with an AR631 receiver to provide fly-by range and real-time telemetry data, including battery voltage, current, ESC temps, and more — plus motor reversing for special ground handling and other capabilities — along with the benefits of AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies. Or, the ARF (Almost-Ready-To-Fly) version is ready for installation of your preferred electronics and power system! And because it’s based on the design of larger Hangar 9 Ultra Stick models, it offers the same great low-speed flight characteristics that make for easier landings, along with excellent high-speed handling and outstanding basic to mild 3D aerobatic capabilities. You can even install the optional wheel pants (sold separately) to make it look more like larger Ultra Stick models! This makes it a perfect first-ever “wood,” everyday sport flying and aerobatic capable model for a wide range of pilots.

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!

Smart Technology
The Ultra Stick 1.1m is equipped with an exclusive Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC that can provide a variety of real-time power system-related telemetry data, including motor RPM, current, battery voltage, and more – with 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, 8 and 10, iX12, iX14, iX20, and others) while you fly.

Exclusive Technologies
This Ultra Stick is equipped with exclusive Spektrum AS3X and SAFE Select technologies. AS3X works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence to deliver a locked-in feel that makes it seem like you’re flying a much larger airplane. Optional-use SAFE Select offers pitch and bank angle limits along with automatic self-levelling that can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch to make it easier to take off, fly and land!

Flexible Power
The factory-installed brushless outrunner motor is 3S and 4S compatible, offering a wide range of “mild to wild” performance – from sport flying and basic aerobatics with 3S batteries to hovering and unlimited vertical performance with 4S batteries! The convenient top-mounted and magnetically secured hatch cover makes installing and removing common and popular 2200–3200mAh batteries easy.

Wood Airframe
The balsa and lite-ply airframe is lightweight yet stiff and strong, offering a flying experience you can’t get with moulded foam models! Best of all, it arrives mostly factory-assembled, and the BNF Basic version also includes durable, factory-installed metal-geared servos and linkages. And in the unfortunate event you damage any airframe parts or components and can’t repair them, a full line of replacement/spare parts is readily available.

Uniquely Capable
The iconic Mini Ultra Stick inspired the Ultra Stick 1.1m. And because it’s based on the design of larger Hangar 9 Ultra Stick models, it offers the same excellent low-speed flight characteristics that make for easier landings, along with excellent high-speed handling and amazing basic to mild 3D aerobatic capabilities. This makes it a perfect first-ever “wood,” everyday sport flying and aerobatic capable model for a wide range of pilots. Plus, it’s set up to accept two additional servos so you can split the ailerons for “crow” and/or flaps plus full-span aileron/flaperon/spoileron setups!

Easy Assembly
The BNF Basic version Ultra Stick 1.1m arrives mostly factory-assembled with the power system, servos, and receiver installed. The ARF version is also mostly factory-assembled, so all you need to do is finish some quick and easy final bolt-together assembly – without glue, tape, or special tools – and you’ll be ready to fly in less time compared to almost all other wood models!

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-Levelling
The airplane instantly returns to and holds level flight when the sticks are released and in the centre position. It’s also helpful for keeping the wings level during take-offs/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.
