Skill Level 3 – Experience Required
Skill Level 3 aircraft, like this one, are suitable for more experienced RC pilots who already have the skills to assemble, set up, and fly similar class models. This PNP version requires more experience and skills to assemble and fly than the BNF Basic versions because you will need to install a receiver that does not already include properly tuned AS3X+ and SAFE Select technologies. It's not a suitable first-ever RC aircraft for new pilots or first-ever EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) jet model for intermediate to experienced RC pilots. You should have the experience and skills necessary to successfully fly simpler EDF models like the E-flite Habu SS (Super Sport) 50mm or 70mm, or other scale jet models, before attempting to fly the Airbus A320neo Twin 64mm EDF.
As the best-selling airliner of all time, the Airbus A320 is in service with many airlines worldwide. The "neo" (New Engine Option) versions feature advanced turbofan engines and wingtip devices known as Sharklets® to benefit from a 20% reduction in fuel burn compared to previous-generation aircraft for additional flight range and extra payload. Officially licensed by Airbus, the E-flite® A320neo Twin 64mm EDF replicates the now-iconic aircraft and features a variety of scale details and functions, including LED landing and navigation lights, flaps, and retractable landing gear. Its twin 64mm EDF power system delivers better-than-scale-like performance plus class-leading flight times with 6S 3200–7000mAh batteries. The "neo" livery and "base white" BNF Basic versions include a factory-installed receiver featuring enhanced AS3X+ technology, which smooths out the effects of wind and turbulence better than ever before. They also feature optional-use SAFE Select technology that makes it even easier to fly, along with motor/thrust reversing to help shorten rollout after landing and provide other special ground handling capabilities. All versions include factory-installed Spektrum digital and metal-geared servos, a dual Smart Lite ESC, and outrunner motors.
Delivering a unique flying experience with unexpected performance and aerobatic capabilities, the E-flite® Airbus A320neo Twin 64mm EDF is the perfect first or next airliner model for intermediate to experienced RC pilots. Its twin 12-blade 64mm fans, high-RPM brushless motors, and 40-amp Spektrum™ Avian™ Dual Smart Lite ESC combine with your 6S 3200–7000mAh 30+C LiPo battery to deliver excellent vertical performance and level flight top speeds, plus longer than expected flight times for an EDF model. The Smart ESC provides real-time telemetry data about your power system while you fly, including overall battery voltage and more. It works with Smart and non-Smart batteries when using compatible receivers (like the AR637TA+ in the BNF® Basic versions) and Spektrum AirWare™ equipped transmitters. With a 7–8+ channel transmitter, it also offers optional use motor/thrust reversing to shorten rollout after landing and provide other special ground handling capabilities!
No glue is required for assembly, and the two-piece wing plus separate stabilizers install quickly and easily without tools so the A320neo can be ready to fly in almost no time. The lightweight, composite-reinforced EPO airframe is available factory-finished in Airbus' special "neo" livery that's fully painted with the decals already applied, or in a painted "base white" version with separate window and other decals that allows you to paint and/or add decals to customize the scheme with any airline or other livery you like!

The large top hatch and opening have plastic-capped edges for improved durability to prevent damage and paint chipping when installing/removing batteries. Eight factory-installed digital and metal-geared servos with ball-link equipped linkages deliver precise and reliable control at every speed. Functional features include LED navigation, strobe and landing lights, operational flaps, and electric retracts with shock-absorbing struts so you can fly from a variety of paved, fabric, packed dirt, or grass surfaces. Various molded details, functional nose gear doors, and flaps add to the incredible scale looks and experience. It all adds up to deliver an airliner model sized for easier storage and transport while offering an unmatched flying experience you'll enjoy flight after flight!
Plug-N-Play® Completion Level
The Plug-N-Play (PNP) version comes out of the box with a factory-installed power system and servos that are ready to connect to the compatible receiver of your choice (sold separately), plus the transmitter and battery you provide (also sold separately). Simply install the receiver, finish any final assembly, and fly!
Smart Technology
The exclusive Spektrum Avian Dual Smart Lite ESC provides a variety of real-time power system-related telemetry data including overall battery voltage and more – with both Smart and non-Smart batteries – via compatible receivers (including the AR637TA+ installed in the BNF Basic versions) and Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6 to 20, iX12 to 20 and others) while you fly. Plus, optional-use motor/thrust reversing can help shorten rollout after landing and offers other special ground handling capabilities (7–8+ channel transmitter required for reversing).
High Performance
The twin 12-blade 64mm fans, high-RPM brushless motors and dual 40-amp Smart Lite ESC combine with your 6S 3200–7000mAh 30+C LiPo battery to deliver excellent vertical performance and a fantastic speed range with virtually instantaneous throttle response. This power system also delivers better performance and longer flight times than the 6S-compatible power systems used in other airliner models.
Capable Gear
The factory-installed electric retracts are equipped with durable metal components including shock-absorbing struts that make it possible to fly from a variety of surfaces including paved and fabric runways, packed dirt and some grass fields. Wide-spaced main gear plus a steerable nose wheel, all with dual wheels, offers excellent ground handling.
Durable Precision
Construction with fully molded and composite-reinforced EPO material makes it possible to replicate complex detail and shapes in a lightweight yet durable form. The result is an outstanding scale appearance that's easy to maintain and delivers the best possible flight experience. Plus, the eight factory-installed digital, metal-geared servos with ball-link equipped linkages deliver crisp and precise control at every speed.
Extra Convenience
The two-piece wing is easy to install and remove for storage and transport thanks to the innovative hands-free connection system and thumbscrews so no tools are required. Those thumbscrews are accessed through the large top-mounted hatch and opening – with plastic-capped edges to protect the painted finish – that make it quick and easy to install and remove batteries.
Unexpected Capabilities
The A320neo Twin 64mm EDF offers incredible handling across a wide speed range and flight envelope. From slow and scale-like flying to high-speed flybys, the airframe and power system combine to deliver unexpected performance and aerobatic capabilities so you can also perform giant loops, rolls, and other maneuvers depending on how you'd like to fly it.
Functional Features
The factory-installed flaps offer improved slow-flight capability and performance while also making it possible to take off and land in shorter distances and at slower speeds. It's also equipped with LED navigation, strobe and landing lights for improved visibility and orientation.
Scale Details
An accurate outline and an abundance of details including molded-in panel lines and doors, removable antennas, and more to enhance your scale experience.
