E-flite Habu XS 80mm EDF RC Airplane Introduction
Inspired by one of the highest-performance EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) sport jet models ever designed – the iconic Habu 32x – the E-flite® Habu XS (eXtra Sport) 80mm EDF also features swept-back wing and stabilizer trailing edges to enhance the appearance and performance. The overall design, including the wing featuring leading edge extensions, was scaled up from the extremely popular Habu SS (Super Sport) 50mm and 70mm models to deliver incredible low-speed handling characteristics that make it easier to fly at slower speeds and to land. This makes it one of the best first-ever "full-house" jet models for low-time EDF pilots and one of the best-ever everyday sport jets for experienced pilots! Both versions are equipped with LED lights, shock-absorbing struts, and a power system that’s compatible with popular 6S 4000–7000mAh batteries and features a Spektrum Avian 130-amp Smart ESC with optional-use motor/thrust reversing. The BNF Basic version also includes a factory-installed AR637TA+ receiver that delivers real-time telemetry data along with the benefits of exclusive and expertly-tuned AS3X+ and SAFE Select technologies to make it quicker to get in the air – plus easier and more enjoyable to fly than other similar class models!
E-flite Habu XS 80mm EDF RC Airplane Overview
Based on the legendary Habu design, the E-flite® Habu XS (eXtra Sport) 80mm EDF is a more powerful and capable "full-house" version of the popular Habu SS (Super Sport) 50mm and 70mm models. It has an extremely wide flight envelope that combines incredible low and high-speed performance plus aerobatic capability, making it an excellent choice for experienced and low-time jet pilots. At its core is a 6S compatible Spektrum brushless motor and AvianT 130-amp Smart ESC matched to a 12-blade fan that works with the expertly engineered and optimized ducting to deliver an abundance of speed, thrust, and a turbine-like sound – without the need for "cheater" holes. It’s capable of level flight top speeds up to 120 MPH and has impressive vertical performance. Plus, it can fit batteries from 4000mAh up to 7000mAh to deliver class-leading flight times.
No glue is required for assembly, and the factory-finished one-piece wing, separate one-piece stabilizers, and fuselage bolt together so the Habu XS can be ready to fly in almost no time. The lightweight, composite-reinforced EPO airframe is factory-finished in a premium, fully painted trim scheme, while the plastic-capped hatch edges and opening improve durability to prevent damage and paint chipping when installing/removing batteries. Eight factory-installed digital, metal-geared servos with ball-link equipped linkages, plus control surfaces with unique captured rod hinges, deliver crisp and precise control at every speed. Functional features include LED landing and navigation lights, extremely effective flaps, and electric retracts with shock-absorbing, trailing-link struts on the nose and main gear so you can easily fly from grass and other surfaces.
Both versions include the factory-installed power system and servos. The BNF® Basic version also has a factory-installed Spektrum AR637TA+ receiver featuring enhanced AS3X+® and optional-use SAFE® Select technologies. When using compatible AirWare®-equipped transmitters, the receiver and Smart ESC supply overall battery voltage, current draw, motor RPM, and other telemetry data in real-time - with both Smart and non-Smart batteries. With a 7–8+ channel transmitter, you can also utilize the optional-use motor/thrust reversing to shorten rollouts after landing and for other unique ground handling capabilities. It all adds up to deliver a full-house and high-performance EDF jet experience unlike any other for low-time to experienced jet pilots!

Skill Level 3 – Experience Required
Skill Level 3 aircraft, like this one, are suitable for more experienced RC pilots with 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 version 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 similar jet models before attempting to fly the Habu XS (eXtra Sport) 80mm EDF.
Smart Technology
The exclusive Spektrum Avian Smart ESC provides a variety of real-time power system-related telemetry data, including overall battery voltage, current draw, motor RPM, and more – with both Smart and non-Smart batteries – via compatible receivers (including the AR637TA+) 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).
eXtra Performance
The 12-blade 80mm fan, Spektrum brushless inrunner motor and Avian 130-amp ESC combine with your 6S 4000–7000mAh 30+C LiPo battery to deliver excellent vertical performance and a fantastic speed range with virtually instantaneous throttle response. But what makes the experience truly rewarding is the sound the power system produces—it’s almost like a real turbine engine.
eXtra Capable Gear
Shock-absorbing, trailing link struts on the nose and main gear soak up the bumps of rough surfaces, including grass, and make flying from a wider variety of fields possible. The reliable electric retracts have durable metal components, and the steerable nose wheel plus wide-spaced main gear offers excellent ground handling.
eXtra Functional Features
The factory-installed flaps offer improved slow-flight capability and performance, making it possible to take off and land in shorter distances and at slower speeds. This makes the Habu XS 80mm a perfect first "full-house" jet model for those moving up from simpler EDF models. It’s also equipped with LED navigation and landing lights for improved visibility and orientation.
eXtra Capability
The Habu XS design offers incredible handling across a wide speed range and flight envelope. From slower-than-expected landings and low-speed passes to 120+ MPH high-speed flybys, the airframe and power system deliver unbelievable performance and aerobatic capability so you can perform giant loops, rolls, knife edge flight, snaps, and other maneuvers
eXtra Precision
The composite-reinforced EPO airframe is lightweight yet durable. The eight factory-installed digital, metal-geared servos with ball-link equipped linkages, plus control surfaces with captured rod hinges, deliver crisp and precise control at every speed.
eXtra Easy Assembly
No glue is required for assembly, and you can have the Habu XS ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery! The one-piece wing with hands-free connections bolts into place and can easily be removed for convenient storage and transport. Plus, the airframe is factory-finished in a premium, fully painted, and high-visibility trim scheme.
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) for use with the transmitter and battery you provide (also sold separately). Simply install the receiver, finish any final assembly, and fly!
