E-flite® Pilatus PC-21 1.3m BNF Basic – The Ultimate Advanced Trainer, at Aerobertics
Experience the unmistakable performance and presence of the Pilatus PC-21 with the E-flite® PC-21 1.3m. Inspired by one of the world's most advanced turboprop trainer aircraft, this highly detailed scale replica combines authentic looks, outstanding performance, and modern Spektrum™ technology to deliver an exceptional flying experience.
Designed and built in Switzerland, the full-size Pilatus PC-21 was developed to prepare military pilots for the demands of modern high-performance aircraft. E-flite brings that same spirit to this impressive 1.3m-scale model, combining a powerful 6S brushless power system, functional retracts and flaps, LED lighting, and advanced flight-control technologies.
At Aerobertics, we particularly appreciate the PC-21 for its unique combination of scale realism, high-speed performance, and surprisingly broad flight envelope. Whether you're looking for precise scale flying, aerobatics, high-speed passes, or simply a spectacular aircraft that stands out at the field, the E-flite PC-21 delivers.
Scale Looks. Serious Performance.
The PC-21 features an abundance of scale details that make it instantly recognizable, including simulated exhaust stacks, antennas, pilot figures, a detailed cockpit, and a premium factory-applied paint and waterslide decal finish.
Functional scale features take the experience even further. The aircraft is equipped with:
The rugged molded EPO airframe is reinforced with composite material throughout, making the PC-21 both lightweight and durable enough for regular use.
6S Power and 100+ MPH Performance
A specially tuned 5065-470Kv brushless outrunner motor, combined with the Spektrum™ Avian® 100A Smart ESC, provides exceptional performance on commonly available 6S 4000–7000mAh LiPo batteries.
With the included 5-blade 12x12 propeller, the PC-21 offers unlimited vertical performance and level-flight speeds of 100+ MPH, giving this scale trainer the kind of performance normally associated with much more aggressive models.
For pilots looking for even more speed and efficiency, the included 2-blade spinner can be paired with an optional APC 12x12E propeller. This setup reduces current draw while increasing top speed and extending flight times.
The Avian Smart ESC also provides real-time telemetry information, including battery voltage, temperature, motor RPM, and other power-system data when paired with a compatible Spektrum transmitter and receiver.
Spektrum AS3X+® and SAFE® Select
The BNF Basic version includes a factory-installed Spektrum AR637TA+ receiver, bringing advanced flight-assistance technology to the PC-21.
Enhanced AS3X+® technology provides a locked-in, precise feel while helping smooth the effects of wind and turbulence without taking away the natural feel of the aircraft.
For additional assistance, SAFE® Select can be enabled as an optional-use feature, making the PC-21 accessible to a wider range of pilots while still allowing experienced pilots to enjoy the aircraft's full performance envelope.
The receiver also includes a Smart Transmitter File (STF), allowing compatible NX- and iX-series transmitters to automatically import the model settings during the binding process.
Built for Pilots Who Want More
The PC-21 offers an exceptionally wide flight envelope, from stable and forgiving slow flight to precise aerobatics, high-speed passes, and aggressive maneuvers.
Its seven factory-installed metal-geared servos with ball-link-equipped control linkages provide precise and reliable control for both scale and performance flying.
With a compatible 7–8+ channel Spektrum transmitter, the model can also take advantage of optional-use motor/thrust reversing, which can help shorten landing rollouts and provides additional ground-handling possibilities.
Easy Assembly, Maximum Flying Time
Despite its impressive size and feature list, the PC-21 is remarkably convenient to assemble.
No glue is required. The vertical stabilizer and two-piece wing are secured with just eight hex-head screws, while the horizontal stabilizers simply snap into place.
The result is a model that can go from box to flight-ready in less time than it takes to charge your battery.
