This is an Overview and Flight Talk video that was filmed in 4K using an iPhone 13 Pro Max (so it's even better when viewed on a larger 4K monitor/screen and our apologies for any focus/sound issues!). Flight begins around the 9:40 mark. See more video here: youtu.be/CQu3iSxmICY

Join us at William Bennett RC Airfield (lvrc.club/about.html) in Las Vegas with Jason Merkle to learn about the features, flying characteristics and more of the Habu SS (Super Sport) 50mm EDF!

The E-flite® Habu SS 50mm EDF is an affordable and convenient high-performance EDF sport jet that’s perfect for low-time RC pilots making their “next step” into jet flying – and it’s one of the best everyday EDF models for more experienced pilots, too!
