E-flite V1200 1.2m – The Fastest Prop-Driven Electric Airplane

Experience speed and precision with the E-flite V1200, renowned as one of the fastest prop-driven models right out of the box. With extreme aerobatic performance, functional flaps, and high-speed stability, the V1200 is equally capable of controlled slow flight for easier landings, making it accessible for experienced intermediate pilots and high-speed enthusiasts alike. Now upgraded with larger, more durable retracts, a higher-visibility color scheme, and an improved finish, it also features a proven high-performance brushless power system.

With 4S batteries, level-flight top speeds reach 110+ MPH, while experienced pilots can push up to 140+ MPH with 6S packs (3200–7000mAh). The BNF Basic version includes the Spektrum AR637TA+ receiver with full-range telemetry, enhanced AS3X+ stability, and optional SAFE Select flight envelope protection.

Skill Level 2 – Some Experience Required

Skill 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. You should have the experience and skills necessary to successfully fly models like the E-flite ElectroStreak 1.1m, Sportix 1.1m, Conscendo Evolution 1.5m, 1.2m to 1.5m warbirds, 64mm and larger EDF, or other similar class models before attempting to fly the V1200 1.2m BNF Basic version.

Exclusive Technologies

This BNF Basic version V1200 1.2m is equipped with a factory-installed Spektrum AR637TA+ receiver that features exclusive Spektrum AS3X+ and SAFE Select technologies. Enhanced 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-leveling that can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch! If you don't want to enable the SAFE Select features, simply bind the receiver normally, and only AS3X+ will be active.

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 Transmitter File

This BNF aircraft is equipped with a receiver that is loaded with a Smart Transmitter File (STF) that makes programming your transmitter as easy as a few clicks of a button. When you bind your transmitter to an STF-equipped aircraft, all programming parameters download automatically from the receiver. Switch assignments, rates, expo, telemetry, and voice callouts configure themselves. No lengthy step-by-step instructions. No continual adjustments. Just push-button convenience that gets you flying faster.

Smart Technology

The V1200 1.2m is equipped with an exclusive Spektrum Avian Smart ESC that can provide a variety of real-time power system related telemetry data including overall battery voltage and more – with Smart and non-Smart batteries – via compatible receivers (including the AR637TA+ installed in the BNF Basic version) and Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6 to 20, iX12 to 20 and others) while you fly.  

Versatile Brushless Power

The V1200 is factory-equipped with a high-power brushless power system that gives you the option to choose just how fast you want to go. Simply drop in a 4S 3200mAh to 5000mAh battery to reach level-flight speeds up to 110+ MPH with the included APC 10x8E propeller and aluminum spinner. Or, to go beyond that and reach top speeds up to 140+ MPH, install a 6S 3200mAh to 7000mAh battery-no modifications or upgrades necessary!

Functional Features

Operational flaps offer improved slow-flight capability and performance while also making it possible to take off and land in shorter distances and at slower speeds. Larger, more durable and reliable electric retracts with sprung wire struts make it possible to fly from a variety of surfaces including pavement, dirt and short grass.

Strength and Precision

Speed is nothing without the right balance of strength and precise control. The V1200's stunning and sleek airframe is molded in special, higher-density EPO that results in a stronger and stiffer airframe with a smoother, dent and damage resistant finish. It's also composite reinforced including multiple carbon fiber spars throughout the wing, fuselage and tail. Plus, it's equipped with digital, metal-geared servos that deliver the precise control and reliability you need to enjoy flying FAST flight after flight.

Easy Assembly

No glue is required for assembly and you can have the V1200 ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery! With a total of six screws, the stabs and the one-piece wing bolt into place and can easily be removed for convenient storage and transport.
