Flex Innovations RV-8 10E Electric PNP Airplane (Night Orange)

The Flex Innovations RV-8 10E PNP Electric Airplane is a great class 10 aircraft that offers stellar performance and great runtime. Flex Innovations took inspiration from the famous experimental Van's Aircraft RV-8. Made from durable EPO, this plane is equipped with the Aura 8 flight controller to give you an aircraft capable of both mild and wild maneuvers. This Night version includes internally-mounted LED’s in the wings, fuselage and stabilizers to illuminate the aircraft from the inside.
Airframe

Designed by World Champion, Quique Somenzini, the RV-8 10E is perfect for newer and expert pilots alike. Receiving power from a 6S LiPo battery, the RV-8 10E is an aircraft that tracks well, maneuvers on a dime, and has incredibly handling. From incredibly slow, flaps down cruising, to 3D maneuvers and faster sport and precision aerobatic flying, the RV-8 10E is a stunner that is ready to put on a show.

Aura 8

An Aura 8 Advanced Flight Control System (AFCS) is installed in the RV-8 10E with no additional programming required. The Aura 8 AFCS is a highly refined 3-axis gyro that makes the aircraft fly like its bigger and flying in less wind. Due to its advanced implementation, it is unobtrusive, feeling like there is nothing in the way of the pilot!
