Description

Before earning their wings as elite Allied fighter pilots in World War II, student aviators first had to master the challenges of advanced flight training. The rugged AT-6 Texan was instrumental in preparing them—teaching discipline, respect for the aircraft, and how to manage the quirks of high-performance fighters. Extensively flown by U.S. Navy pilots under the SNJ designation, the AT-6 remains active today, with hundreds still in the air, fulfilling roles far beyond its original training purpose.

The E-flite SNJ-5/AT-6 Texan 1.5m pays tribute to this often-overlooked warbird. It features a refined power system compatible with both 3S and 4S LiPo batteries, anchored by a Spektrum Avian 70A Smart Lite ESC. The BNF Basic version is equipped with a telemetry-enabled AR631+ receiver, enhanced with AS3X+® stabilization and optional SAFE® Select technology—making it easier than ever for pilots of varying skill levels to experience and enjoy this historic aircraft.

E-flite has refined the SNJ-5/AT-6 Texan 1.5m to deliver its most capable and pilot-friendly scale replica of the iconic trainer to date. Finished at the factory in a striking livery inspired by the SNJ-5 “101” — still flown today by the High Sky Wing of the Commemorative Air Force in Midland, Texas — this model captures the spirit of the original with impressive attention to detail. Features include molded panel lines, a realistic radial engine replica, a fully detailed cockpit with pilot figure, functional flaps, and electric retracts for an authentic flight experience.

Under the cowl, an upgraded power system supports both 3S and 4S 2200–4000mAh LiPo batteries and is paired with a 70A Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC. The BNF Basic version comes equipped with an AR631+ receiver offering real-time telemetry, advanced AS3X+ stabilization, and optional SAFE Select technology for added flight envelope protection.

Assembly is glue-free and fast—typically quicker than charging a battery—while the one-piece wing with hands-free servo connections simplifies transport and storage. Altogether, this model offers an ideal blend of scale realism, performance, and convenience, making it a standout choice for intermediate to experienced warbird enthusiasts.

Specifications

  • Optimized power system: Pre-tuned motor supports both 3S and 4S LiPo batteries with no need for upgrades or adjustments.Operational split flaps: Enhance short-field takeoff and landing capabilities while improving low-speed handling.
  • Streamlined wing design: One-piece wing with tool-free servo connections simplifies transport and storage.
  • Accessible battery bay: Generously sized top hatch allows quick and easy battery changes.
  • Comprehensive control setup: Full 6-channel functionality with five pre-installed servos and linkages for precise maneuverability.
  • Robust yet lightweight airframe: Constructed from composite-reinforced EPO foam for durability without added weight.
  • Authentic finish: Factory-applied SNJ-5 “101” paint scheme delivers scale realism straight out of the box.
  • Quick assembly: No glue required—get airborne faster with minimal setup time.

Aircraft classified as Skill Level 3, such as the SNJ-5/AT-6 Texan 1.5m, are intended for seasoned RC pilots who are already proficient in assembling, configuring, and flying models of similar complexity. The PNP version in particular demands greater expertise than the BNF Basic variant, as it requires manual installation of a receiver that does not come pre-configured with AS3X+ stabilization or SAFE Select flight assistance.

Before flying this model, pilots should have prior experience with aircraft such as the E-flite P-51D Mustang 1.0m, T-28 Trojan 1.1m, Valiant 1.3m, Commander mPd 1.4m, Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m, or other comparable platforms. Familiarity with setup procedures and confident handling of intermediate to advanced warbirds is essential for safe and successful operation.

Skill Level 3 for the E-flite SNJ-5/AT-6 Texan 1.5m RC Airplane
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 version because you will need to install a receiver that does not already include properly tuned AS3X+ and SAFE Select technologies. You should have the experience and skills necessary to assemble and successfully fly models like the E-flite P-51D Mustang 1.0m, T-28 Trojan 1.1m, Valiant 1.3m, Commander mPd 1.4m, Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m, or other similar class models before attempting to fly the SNJ-5/AT-6 Texan 1.5m PNP version.
