V1200 1.2m BNF Basic with AS3X+ and SAFE Select

The V1200 is the FASTEST propeller-driven E-flite aircraft ever right out of the box! It reaches impressive speeds of over 225 km/h with a 6S battery or over 175 km/h with a 4S battery. This redesigned and improved version features more robust and reliable retractable landing gear, as well as a more eye-catching color scheme with improved decals. The BNF Basic version also comes with the benefits of advanced AS3X technology and the optional SAFE Select feature!

E-flite V1200 RC Airplane Introduction

Fast and good-looking the E-flite V1200! The original V1200 model quickly established itself as one of the fastest “out-of-the-box” models. At the same time, it surprises with stable low-speed flight characteristics which allow for easier landings thanks to the functional landing flaps as well as impressive aerobatic capabilities. Now the V1200 is available again with larger, sturdier, and more reliable retractable landing gear, a more eye-catching color scheme, and improved build quality. Add to that the proven, high-performance brushless motor, which lets you decide for yourself just how fast you want to go. With a 4S battery, you can reach speeds of up to 177 km/h (110+ MPH). With standard 6S batteries (3200–7000 mAh), speeds of up to 225 km/h (140+ MPH) are even possible! The model is equipped with a 100-amp Spektrum Avian Smart ESC. The BNF Basic version also features an AR637TA+ receiver, which provides real-time telemetry data across the entire range. You’ll also benefit from improved AS3X technology and the optional SAFE Select feature, which offers even greater safety and stability.

E-flite V1200 RC Airplane Overview

Experience the fastest propeller-driven E-flite airplane ever! With 4S batteries ranging from 3200 to 5000mAh and the factory-installed brushless motor, the V1200 reaches an impressive 177+ km/h perfect for pilots with some experience in high-speed flying. Even more experienced pilots can reach speeds of up to 225+ km/h when using 6S 3200–7000 mAh batteries! The Spektrum Avian 100A Smart ESC ensures your safety thanks to real-time telemetry data transmitted to Spektrum AirWare-compatible transmitters via compatible receivers (such as the AR637TA+ in the BNF Basic version).
Speed and aerobatics enthusiasts will love the precise control provided by the six digital servos with metal gears and ball-joint linkages especially in the BNF Basic version, which comes equipped with a factory-installed AR637TA+ receiver. This receiver offers advanced AS3X+ stabilization and optional SAFE Select technologies. The functional landing flaps improve low-speed flight characteristics and enable shorter takeoffs and landings. The updated, improved, and more robust retractable landing gear with spring-loaded legs allows for takeoffs and landings on asphalt, solid surfaces, or short grass at suitable airfields. The sleek airframe is reinforced with composite materials and constructed from high-density EPO foam, which ensures a stronger and stiffer structure while providing a smoother, impact- and damage-resistant surface. In addition, the V1200 is now factory-painted in a high-contrast color scheme with lighter colors to improve visibility and orientation. No glue is required for assembly: Six screws secure the tail units, and the one-piece wing can be easily attached and removed thanks to the snap-fit connections ideal for convenient storage and transport. This means you’ll be ready to fly faster than it takes to charge a battery.

Skill Level 2 - Some experience required
Level 2 aircraft, such as this model, are ideal for pilots who already have some experience and are capable of assembling, tuning, and flying similar models. Before attempting to fly the V1200 1.2m BNF Basic version, you should already have experience with models such as the E-flite ElectroStreak 1.1m, Sportix 1.1m, Conscendo Evolution 1.5m, warbirds in the 1.2m to 1.5m scale range, 64mm or larger EDFs, or other models in this class.


Exclusive Technologies
This BNF Basic version of the V1200 1.2 m is equipped with a factory-installed Spektrum AR637TA+ receiver, which features the exclusive Spektrum AS3X+ and SAFE Select technologies. The advanced AS3X+ works in the background to compensate for the effects of wind and turbulence. This results in a precise, smooth flying experience, as if you were flying a much larger aircraft. The optional SAFE Select feature provides pitch and roll angle limits, as well as automatic self-stabilization, which can be turned on and off with a switch! If you don’t want to use the SAFE Select features, you can simply bind the receiver normally so that only AS3X+ is active.


Bind-N-Fly® Feature Advantage
Already own a Spektrum™ transmitter? With Bind-N-Fly (BNF) model aircraft, it’s never been easier to get airborne quickly while enjoying the best possible control. The models come ready to fly right out of the box with the power system, servos, and a Spektrum 2.4 GHz receiver already installed. All you have to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, complete any final assembly steps, and you’re ready to fly!


Smart Transmitter File
This BNF aircraft is equipped with a receiver that features the Smart Transmitter File (STF) function. This makes programming your remote control as easy as a few clicks. As soon as you bind your transmitter to an STF-compatible aircraft, all programming parameters are automatically downloaded from the receiver. Switch assignments, rates, Expo, telemetry, and voice prompts configure themselves automatically. No lengthy step-by-step instructions. No constant adjustments. Just the push of a button and you’ll be in the air faster!


Smart Technology
The V1200 1.2 m is equipped with an exclusive Spektrum Avian Smart controller that provides a wide range of telemetry data about the power system in real time including total battery voltage and much more. This works with both Smart and non-Smart batteries via compatible receivers (including the AR637TA+ installed in the BNF Basic version) and Spektrum AirWare-enabled transmitters (such as the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, DX9, NX6 through NX20, iX12 through iX20, and others)—all while in flight.


Versatile Brushless Power
The V1200 comes factory-equipped with a powerful brushless motor that gives you the freedom to set your own speed. Simply use a 4S battery with a capacity of 3200mAh to 5000mAh to reach speeds of up to 177 km/h (110+ MPH) with the included APC 10x8E propeller and aluminum spinner. If you want to fly even faster and aim for top speeds of up to 225 km/h (140+ MPH), you can use a 6S battery with a capacity of 3200mAh to 7000mAh all without any modifications or upgrades!


Functional Features
Functional flaps improve low-speed flight characteristics and overall performance, allowing for takeoffs and landings over shorter distances and at lower speeds. The larger, more robust, and more reliable electric retractable landing gear with spring-loaded landing struts allows for takeoffs and landings on various surfaces such as asphalt, gravel, or short grass.


Ruggedness and Precision
Speed alone isn’t enough it takes the perfect combination of stability and precise control. The V1200 impresses with a sleek and aerodynamic airframe made from special, high-density EPO. This material ensures a stronger and stiffer structure, as well as a smoother, more durable surface that resists dents and damage. In addition, the fuselage is reinforced with composite materials, including multiple carbon-fiber struts in the wings, fuselage, and tail. Equipped with digital servos featuring metal gears, the V1200 offers the precise control and reliability needed for fast and exciting flights.


Easy Assembly
No glue is required for assembly, and you can get the V1200 ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery! The tail assembly and the one-piece wing are secured with a total of six screws. They can also be easily removed for convenient storage and easy transport.
