Every WWII allied fighter ace got their start somewhere.
Chances are, most started off in a PT-17. Simple, tough and made by the
thousands, both the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy used the biplane for its
admirable ability to help new pilots survive the basics and master the
art of flight, all in the shortest amount of time possible. The E-flite®
PT-17 1.1m electric park flyer replicates the most iconic trainer of
WWII with exquisite detail and the kind of performance that makes scale
flying the way it should be—simple, fun and without compromise.
The
E-flite PT-17 1.1m has everything you could ask for in a classic
biplane. First and foremost is the period-correct 7-cylinder dummy
radial engine, complete with intricate ignition and exhaust details. The
Navy-inspired trim scheme is highlighted with wing rib and fuselage
frame work accented with accessory and paneling detail. Shock-absorbing
action of the aluminum struts add functional authenticity you’ll
appreciate during touchdowns and rolling over grass. While it’s easy to
be overwhelmed by the scale complexity, getting this beauty in the air
requires less effort than you might think. Field assembly features a
quick-release wing mounting system, which means no tools are required.
Even battery installation is simple through the large magnetic top hatch
that accommodates a wide range of 3S LiPo batteries. Unlike the
modestly equipped full-scale original, a 15-size brushless outrunner
motor delivers ample thrust so you can perform sport aerobatics or just
cruise the horizon with power to spare.
Requires:
- Full-range, 5+ Channel DSMX®/DSM2® transmitter
- 2200–3000mAh 3S LiPo flight battery
- 3S compatible LiPo charger
U.S. Navy Inspired Replica
The vivid yellow
trim scheme was inspired by the initial aircraft delivered to the U.S.
Navy around 1942. Designated the N2S, it was identical to the PT-17
flown by the U.S. Army. Construction with durable EPO material makes it
possible to replicate complex detail in a lightweight form. The result
is an outstanding scale appearance that’s easy to maintain and allows
the most satisfying flight experience possible to shine through.
Outstanding Realism
Out of the box, you only
need to fasten six screws. At the field, no tools are needed to install
the one-piece wings designed with a quick-release system that makes
biplane assembly super simple.

Brushless Power System
The
power system features a 15-size brushless, 850Kv outrunner and a 40-amp
ESC that when combined with your 2200mAh 3S 25C Li-Po battery delivers
outstanding thrust.
Shock-Absorbing Landing Gear
The shock-absorbing
action of the aluminum struts coupled to concealed spring-steel wire
combines with the large scale wheels to add functional authenticity
you’ll appreciate during touchdowns and while rolling over grass.
AS3X Receiver with Optional SAFE Select Technology
The
model’s AS3X® (Artificial Stabilization – 3-aXis) receiver works behind
the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence. The result
is a sense of stability and precision that makes you feel like you’re
flying an expertly tuned aircraft.
If you’re a relatively new
pilot or want an extra margin of safety while familiarizing yourself
with the airplane, you can enable the optional SAFE® Select technology
built into the receiver. No programming is required. Simply change up
the binding sequence as directed in the manual.
With SAFE Select features enabled, you get:
Pitch and Bank Angle Limits
These
keep the aircraft from rolling or pitching upside down. They also
prevent excessive climb or dive angles during takeoff and landing.
Automatic Self-Leveling
Instantly returns the wings to level when the sticks are released.
Easy Switch Assignment—No Programming Required
The
simple procedure for assigning a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select
features on and off doesn't require any 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.
Bind-N-Fly® Convenience
As
an E-flite Bind-N-Fly® Basic RC replica, you can enjoy air superiority
in no time at all. Final assembly is minimal and can be complete in
about the time it takes to charge your battery. Model Presets are also
available to make Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter programing even
simpler, which means that getting into the air quickly has never been
easier.
