Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the E-flite Airbus A320neo Twin 64mm EDF suitable for beginners or first-time RC pilots? — No, this model is not recommended for beginners or as a first-ever RC aircraft. Rated as Skill Level 2 (Some Experience Required), it is designed for RC pilots who already have prior experience and the skills to assemble, set up and fly similar class models. You should ideally have experience flying simpler EDF models such as the E-flite Habu SS 50mm or 70mm, or other scale jet models before attempting this aircraft. For new RC pilots, E-flite recommends learning with purpose-built trainer aircraft like the Habu STS 70mm EDF which includes SAFE technology to assist early learning.
• What battery does the A320neo Twin 64mm EDF require and what sort of flight times can I expect? — The model requires a 6S 22.2V LiPo battery with capacity between 3200mAh and 7000mAh and 30+C discharge rating, using EC5 or IC5 connectors. The wide range of compatible batteries allows flexibility in your choice: smaller capacity batteries (3200mAh) deliver more spirited aerobatic performance with shorter flight times, whilst larger batteries (up to 7000mAh) extend flight duration significantly, with class-leading flight times achievable thanks to the efficient dual motor and ESC design—substantially longer than comparable EDF airliner models on the market.
• What transmitter do I need to use with this BNF model? — The A320neo Twin 64mm EDF comes with a Spektrum AR637TA+ receiver and requires a compatible Spektrum DSMX or DSM2 transmitter. For basic flying, a 6-channel transmitter is sufficient. To enable SAFE Select flight envelope protection features, you need a 7-channel transmitter. To utilise both SAFE Select and optional motor/thrust reversing for realistic ground handling and shortened landing rollouts, you require an 8+ channel transmitter. Compatible Spektrum transmitter options include the DX6e, DX8e, DX6 G2, DX8 G2, DX9, NX6–20, and iX12–20 models, and the receiver includes a Smart Transmitter File for rapid setup with NX and iX series transmitters.
• What is the difference between this BNF Basic version and other versions of the A320neo Twin 64mm EDF? — The BNF (Bind-N-Fly) Basic designation means this version comes factory-equipped with all power system components (motors, ESC, receiver, servos) pre-installed and tested, requiring only binding to your transmitter before flight, plus final assembly of detachable components like the wings and stabilisers. This differs from RTF (Ready-To-Fly) versions which include a transmitter, and from build kits which require assembly of major components. The AR637TA+ receiver in this BNF Basic version includes enhanced AS3X+ technology and optional SAFE Select, making it one of the most advanced configurations available. The model is available in two livery options: factory-finished in Airbus' special neo livery (fully painted with decals applied), or in base white finish with separate window decals for custom painting or livery customisation.
• Can I perform aerobatic maneuvers with this airliner model? — Yes, despite its authentic scale appearance and handling characteristics, the A320neo Twin 64mm EDF delivers an unexpectedly wide performance envelope enabling genuine aerobatic flying. You can perform large loops, rolls and other maneuvers depending on your flying style and battery selection. The wide speed range allows everything from slow, sedate scale flying to high-speed flybys, giving you flexibility to choose your preferred flying style. This aerobatic capability is unusual for airliner models and adds significantly to the enjoyment and versatility of the aircraft.
• What surfaces can I fly from with the electric retractable landing gear? — The factory-installed electric retracts with shock-absorbing metal struts enable operation from multiple surface types including paved runways, fabric runways, packed dirt and some grass fields. The wide-spaced main landing gear featuring dual wheels on each side, plus a steerable nose wheel, provides excellent ground handling characteristics. This versatility in operating surfaces significantly expands where and how often you can fly the model, compared to models requiring paved surfaces only.
• What is AS3X+ technology and how does it improve my flying experience? — AS3X+ (Attitude Stabilisation 3-aXis plus) is exclusive Spektrum technology that works automatically behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind gusts and turbulence, delivering an even more locked-in, stable feeling than standard AS3X. The technology makes the aircraft seem to fly like a much larger, more stable aircraft than its actual size, smoothing out corrections and providing confidence-building stability. In the AR637TA+ receiver fitted to this model, the enhanced AS3X+ implementation provides industry-leading stabilisation. This is particularly valuable for airliner models where smooth, stable flight characteristics are desirable, though you can disable it if preferred by simply not enabling SAFE Select.
• What does SAFE Select do and can I turn it off? — SAFE Select is an optional Spektrum technology that provides pitch and bank angle limits and automatic self-levelling assistance. When enabled via your compatible transmitter, it helps prevent over-stressing the airframe and provides automatic recovery to level flight if you accidentally exceed safe attitudes. The crucial benefit is that SAFE Select is optional and can be toggled on or off at the flip of a switch during flight, allowing you to choose whether you want the assistance or prefer full manual control. If you simply bind the receiver normally without enabling SAFE Select, only the AS3X+ stabilisation will be active.
• What is the Smart Lite ESC and what telemetry data does it provide? — The Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC is an advanced electronic speed controller that monitors your power system in real-time. It can report overall battery voltage and other power system data back to your transmitter via compatible Spektrum receivers (including the AR637TA+ in this model) and Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters. This telemetry capability allows you to monitor battery condition throughout your flight, helping optimise flight times and protect battery lifespan. The Smart Lite ESC works with both Smart batteries (which include built-in telemetry chips) and standard non-Smart batteries, providing unprecedented insight into your power system performance.
• Is assembly of this model time-consuming or do I need special tools? — No, assembly is straightforward and requires no special tools or glue. The two-piece wing connects via an innovative hands-free system using thumbscrews that are accessed through the large top hatch, requiring only finger-tightening to secure. The horizontal and vertical stabilisers simply snap into place without tools or fasteners. The large top-mounted battery hatch with plastic-capped protective edges provides easy access for battery installation. All major components arrive factory-installed including motors, ESC, servos and receiver. Most pilots can have the aircraft ready to fly within 30 minutes of unboxing, far faster than traditional build kits.
• What size is this model and how portable is it? — The Airbus A320neo Twin 64mm EDF has a wingspan of 1521mm and fuselage length of 1580mm, weighing 2954 grams when fully assembled. Whilst these dimensions represent a substantial model, the two-piece wing design with thumbscrew fasteners allows rapid disassembly for transport and storage without tools, fitting into standard transport cases or vehicle boot space. The manageable size compared to larger airliner models makes it practical for transport to flying fields whilst maintaining authentic scale proportions and excellent flight characteristics.
