They served in a wide variety of roles, from passenger transport to mail carrier, and even as a military trainer for navigators and bombardiers. The original E-flite Beechcraft D18 1.5m quickly became known as the most convenient, well-equipped, and easiest-to-fly scale model of the unique aviation icon. Now it's available again with a military trim scheme based on a US Navy variant that first entered service as a navigation trainer, then underwent an overhaul and was reconfigured as a photo reconnaissance trainer in the 1950s. It's outfitted with numerous scale details, as well as functional features such as LED navigation lights, retractable landing gear, and flaps, which further enhance its realism. The 3S and 4S compatible power system features an exclusive Spektrum Avian Dual Smart Lite ESC. The BNF Basic version is also equipped with an AR631+ receiver, delivering real-time telemetry data along with AS3X+ and SAFE Select technologies. The Beechcraft D18\/RC-45J 1.5m turns the aviation classic into a modern-day RC marvel that's practical for a wide range of pilots to enjoy!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eE-flite Beechcraft D18\/RC-45J 1.5m RC Airplane Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe E-flite Beechcraft D18\/RC-45J 1.5m is the most convenient, capable, and easiest to fly scale model of one of general and military aviation's most recognizable aircraft! Its twin brushless power system, with specially tuned motors, delivers better-than-scale-like performance when using 3S 3200-5000mAh batteries. Or it can deliver even more speed and unlimited vertical performance with a 4S battery – no modifications or upgrades required. It's also equipped with an exclusive Spektrum Avian Dual 40-amp Smart Lite ESC, which can provide a variety of real-time power system telemetry data with both Smart and non-Smart batteries via compatible receivers (including the AR631+ installed in the BNF Basic version) and Spektrum AirWare-equipped transmitters. The BNF Basic version is also the only Twin Beech model equipped with enhanced AS3X+ and optional-use SAFE Select technologies, making it the easiest to fly D18\/RC-45J yet. Factory-finished in a highly visible and fully painted white with orange Navy trim scheme, the lightweight yet durable, composite-reinforced EPO airframe features an abundance of scale detail - moulded-in panel lines and hatches, antennas, exhaust stacks, a pilot figure, and more. Included functional flaps, twin rudders, and LED navigation lights elevate your experience to the next level. Factory-installed electric retracts with durable metal components make it possible to take off from a wide variety of surfaces, including paved runways, packed dirt, and even grass. The unique 3-piece wing design makes storage and transport as convenient as possible, as the centre section houses the main gear, and all sections feature innovative hands-free connections. Best of all, because no glue is required for final assembly, you can have the Beechcraft D18\/RC-45J 1.5m ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eE-flite Beechcraft D18\/RC-45J 1.5m RC Airplane Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe most convenient, well-equipped, and easiest to fly scale model of the unique general aviation and military aircraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale details including moulded-in panel lines and hatches, antennas, simulated radial engines, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits batteries from 3200-5000mAh to deliver a wide variety of performance and flight times\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40-amp Spektrum Avian Dual Smart Lite ESC provides real-time battery voltage and other telemetry data, plus differential thrust capabilities, via compatible transmitters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReceiver loaded with a Smart Transmitter Model File that allows you to import all settings for NX and iX series transmitters during the binding process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe unmatched stability and locked-in feel of exclusive and enhanced AS3X+ technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-piece wing includes a centre section with main gear plus hands-free connections for easier storage and transport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix durable and precise digital, metal-geared servos with factory-installed linkages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdated fuselage design to eliminate the need for significant elevator trimming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReliable electric retracts for operation from a variety of surfaces, including grass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConvenient top hatch with clear canopy, cockpit detail, and a pilot figure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtremely durable, fully moulded EPO airframe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast and easy assembly – no glue required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eSkill Level 2 – Some Experience Required\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eSkill 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.
