Overview

The Valiant 1.3m park flyer is a downsized version of the big Hangar 9® Valiant 30cc ARF. Like its giant-scale sibling, it has the inherent stability of a classic high-wing model but with more modern lines and larger control surfaces that can provide sporty response when you want it. This Bind-N-Fly® version comes with the added benefit of a Spektrum AS3X® receiver that features optional SAFE Select technology.

SAFE technology

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!

This Bind-N-Fly Basic model is equipped with a Spektrum 2.4GHz DSMX® receiver featuring AS3X (Artificial Stabilization–3-aXis) technology that works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence. The result is a heightened sense of stability and precision that makes you feel like you're flying a much larger, expertly tuned aircraft.

If this is your first model of its type, or you want an extra margin of safety while familiarizing yourself with the airplane, you can enable the optional-use SAFE® Select flight envelope protection technology built into the receiver. No programming is required. Simply change up the binding sequence as directed in the manual.

With SAFE Select enabled, you get:

Pitch and Bank Angle Limits

  • These envelope limits keep the airplane from rolling or pitching upside down. They also prevent excessive climb or dive angles.

Automatic Self-Leveling

  • The airplane instantly returns to and holds level flight when the sticks are released and in the center position. It's also helpful for keeping the wings level during takeoffs/launches and landings.

Easy Switch Assignment—No Complex Programming Required

  • The simple procedure for assigning a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select features on and off doesn't require any complex programming and takes just a few seconds.

If you don't want to enable the SAFE Select features, just bind the receiver normally and it will function like a standard AS3X receiver.

  • Optional-use SAFE® Select flight mode for newer pilots
  • Wide flight envelope with sporty performance
  • Functional flaps installed
  • Spektrum AR631 6-channel AS3X® receiver with SAFE® Select technology installed
  • Powerful 480-size brushless motor and 30A telemetry capable ESC installed

FAQ

It's EFL4964: https://www.horizonhobby.com/product/prop-adapter-valiant/EFL4964.html

All Eflite BNF aircraft come with a Spektrum receiver. In order to use a third party transmitter, you would need to install a compatible receiver.

3S is the maximum recommended for the Valiant 1.3m.

No Forward Programming capability is needed to utilize the AS3X and SAFE Select functions. AS3X is on by default, and SAFE Select can be activated in the previous manner (bind process).

The BNF Basic model requires Spektrum (or Spektrum compatible) transmitter. Your Hitec radio will not operate the model at all. You would need to replace the receiver with a Hitec unit. To have the AS3X and SAFE functionality you will need a Spektrum transmitter.
The versatile Valiant™ 1.3m park flyer gives you the inherent stability of a classic high-wing model but with more modern lines and sporty response. You also get functional flaps right out of the box and the option to add floats (sold separately).
