E-flite Micro B-2 Spirit of America Twin 30mm EDF BNF Fasic Jet
When I was growing up, the B-2 Stealth Bomber was one of my favorite aircraft to obsess over. From its "stealth" radar-evading technology to its unique shape and overall awesome appearance, I spent endless hours reading about and drawing interpretations of that jet.
If you are similarly obsessed with this military jet, as well as the R/C hobby, you're in luck. E-flite has released the Micro B-2 Spirit of America Twin 30mm EDF BNF Fasic Jet, a scaled-down, spitting image of its 1:1 counterpart. Geared toward intermediate R/C pilots, this EDF jet looks stunning both in the air and on the runway.
Built around a lightweight design, this B-2 Bomber replica features two EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) 30mm turbines that are powered by two outrunner-style brushless motors, fixed landing gear that can be removed for hand-launched takeoff, and plenty of technology to ensure this radio-controlled jet is easy to maneuver.
From a visual standpoint, the E-flite Micro B-2 Spirit of America appears to be a faithful recreation of the full-sized B-2 Bomber. It arrives fully assembled, leaving you to bind it with a 5+ channel DSMX or DSM2-compatible controller and provide a 3S LiPo battery.
