Horizon Hobby and E-flite have released a new R/C aircraft that should excite fans of scale aviation. The Beechcraft D18/RC-45J 1.5m is a visually stunning airplane with plenty of performance prowess to delight hardcore enthusiasts.

Sporting an orange and gray US Navy color scheme, this replica of the dual-propeller, "Twin Beech" D18 features functioning flaps, retracts, and twin rudders to give you every bit of control imaginable from an aircraft of this size.

With a nearly 60" wingspan (59.2" per specs), this is no compact flyer, so you'll need plenty of air space and runway to ensure successful takeoffs and landings.

The E-flite Beechcraft D18/RC-45J 1.5m is available in two variations: a PNP version and a BNF version that includes Spektrum's AS3X+ and SAFE Select flight stabilization technology.
