Scaled up to have the same great low-speed handling characteristics of the Habu SS (Super Sport) 50mm and 70mm, and inspired by the Habu 32 models that set the standard for high-speed EDF sport jet performance more than a decade ago, the E-flite® Habu XS (eXtra Sport) 80mm is a perfect “full-house” and high-performance jet for low-time to experienced EDF pilots!

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.

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 Avian™ 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!
