EA BDX

If item is not in stock please email us at info@eliteaerosports.com and lets get you ordered in your favorite scheme today!!

 

Inspiration for the BDX design came from the iconic Bede Aircraft BD5 by Jim Bede.  Jim Bede produced many aircraft designs from the 60's and 70's but maybe his most recognizable model was the BD5.  We envisioned what a modern BD5 would look like and brought it to life.  The BDX has far surpassed any of our expectations.  It has exceptional flying characteristics and has been described as like flying on "cheat mode".  Its a point and go model that feels like flying on a simulator.  The BDX is very versatile flying model that can fly very slow or exceed speeds of 200mph in an instant.  The BDX is an extremely stable model that makes landings effortless.  Check out the specs!!

 

Attention!  Servos pocket are standard size for 20 x 40 servos.  Some new servos are oversized.

25kg servos and up are adequate. Pnp models come equipped with 36kg servos.
