Champ Anniversary Special Edition 515mm BNF Basic with SAFE Overview

Welcome to the exciting world of RC (Radio Controlled) flight! If you’ve ever dreamed of taking to the skies, Horizon Hobby has you covered. We are committed to engineering aircraft that you can learn to fly with successfully even if you’ve never flown RC before. Every HobbyZone aircraft we offer features industry-leading design and technology developed by experts to keep you in control and learning at your own pace so you can turn your dreams of flight into a reality!

The updated and upgraded HobbyZone® Champ Anniversary Special Edition now features Horizon Hobby’s exclusive and innovative SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology. This technology helps prevent overcontrol, loss of orientation, and crashes, enabling nearly everyone to learn to fly successfully. Beginner and Experienced modes allow you to choose the level of stability and control you need or are ready to try at the flip of a switch/push of a button. This makes the Champ an even better version of the trainer many pilots learned to fly with! It’s also equipped with the advantages of Spektrum 2.4GHz DSMX which is the same technology that’s trusted by experienced RC pilots all around the world who fly some of the largest and most expensive aircraft.

And the fun doesn’t stop after you learn how to fly! The Champ’s powerful electric motor delivers long flight times and provides plenty of speed and power to perform basic aerobatic maneuvers like loops, stall turns, and more. That means the Champ is a model even experienced pilots will appreciate and enjoy flying – and can also be used to teach others to fly.

The Champ arrives 100% factory-assembled and ready to fly right out of the box-no assembly or setup required. The Ready-To-Fly (RTF) version includes everything needed to fly in one box and is a perfect choice for first-time to experienced pilots looking for maximum convenience and value. From the Spektrum MLP4DSM 2.4GHz controller/transmitter and the AA batteries for it, to the 1S 150mAh rechargeable LiPo (Lithium Polymer) battery and a convenient USB charger that can be used with a variety of USB power sources, there's nothing extra you need to buy or provide! A Bind-N-Fly (BNF) Basic version is also available for experienced pilots who want to use their favorite Spektrum DSMX/DSM2-equipped transmitter, batteries, and chargers they may already own.

Both versions feature construction with advanced EPS material to deliver a lightweight yet durable airframe that’s also easily repairable with odorless/foam-safe CA, Foam 2 Foam, epoxy, and other foam-friendly adhesives along with tape. Or, if you damage any airframe parts or components and can’t repair them, a full line of replacement/spare parts is readily available. Extra batteries are also available separately, including a higher capacity Spektrum 1S 210mAh battery (SPMX2101S50) that delivers more power and longer flight times. Optional 4-port (SPMXC1040) and 6-port (SPMXC1060) chargers are also available.
