Overview Ready to Bind and Fly with a minimum 4 channel DSM2/DSMX transmitter, the aircrafts light weight EPO Z-Foam and carbon fibre airframe is paired with a powerful BL10 1250Kv brushless motor to deliver outstanding performance on a 3 cell Lipo battery. The VisionAire comes complete with four high speed digital micro servos and Spektrum’s all new AR635 receiver. This receiver not only has an inbuilt 3D flight mode which is switchable from you transmitter but features an advanced AS3X (Artificial Stabilisation – 3-aXis) System built into it. The AS3X System works behind the scenes to counter the effects of wind and turbulence giving you the confidence you need to try high alpha manoeuvres like harriers, hovers, torque rolls and lots more, but more on this later. What You Get From the moment you flip open the box the VisionAire begins to excite. Carefully cut away the tape that holds the packing foam in place to release the wings. Fully moulded from Z-foam, the wings feature a hollow construction with carbon fibre stiffeners. Not only are these wing panels incredibly stiff, they are lighter than a conventional solid core wing. The ailerons on the VisionAire are massive and come all ready hinged and connected to Eflite’s new 13g digital micro servos. The wings tips are moulded ready to accept wing fences while the leading edge features vortex generators. These little bumps are specifically designed to delay the stall, thereby improving the effectiveness of the wing and control surfaces while flying high alpha manoeuvres. 18 Airborne
