An Even More Capable Commander
A collaboration between veteran RC aircraft designer David Payne and Aircraft Studio Design founder Mirco Pecorari, the original Commander mPd&reg 1.4m blended classic lines with modern influences for a one-of-a-kind sport flying experience. It's now updated and upgraded for more power and better control, and to include the benefits of Smart technology &mdash making it more capable and fun to fly than before! The new brushless power system features a 45-amp Spektrum&trade Avian&trade Smart Lite ESC plus a specially-tuned motor to deliver an abundance of thrust with a 3S LiPo battery, or more speed and unlimited vertical performance with a 4S battery. Control response, with stronger, more precise metal-geared servos, is so smooth and predictable that anyone moving up from a trainer will feel comfortable right away. The BNF&reg Basic version includes an AR631 receiver to deliver real-time telemetry data along with AS3X&reg and SAFE&reg Select technologies. With these advantages and more, the Commander mPd 1.4m is the perfect next step, first low wing, or everyday sport model for a wide variety of pilots!

  • Compatible with the Spektrum DXS transmitter included with many of the most popular E-flite&reg and HobbyZone&reg trainer airplane models
  • Spektrum AR631 receiver with fly-by range telemetry and industry-leading DSMX&reg technology
  • Easier to fly with innovative and optional-use SAFE&reg Select flight envelope protection

Advanced Technology And A Timeless Look
David Payne and Mirco Pecorari drew from many full-scale and model aviation influences when designing the Commander mPd&reg 1.4m sport airplane. They wanted it to stand out from the crowd while having the pilot-friendly flight characteristics of traditional sport planes. This updated and upgraded version is all that and more! Easy to take off, fly, and land, it's the perfect "next step" after a trainer. In the hands of experienced pilots, it's also capable of higher speeds and high-energy aerobatics. The 3S and 4S compatible brushless power system, combined with a light wing loading plus factory-installed metal-geared servos and flaps, gives the Commander mPd 1.4m a wide flight envelope. It's smooth and predictable, with power to spare for performing rolling circles, knife-edge flight, and beyond. While you fly, the exclusive Spektrum&trade Avian&trade Smart Lite ESC can provide a variety of real-time power system related telemetry data including motor RPM, current, battery voltage and more &ndash with Smart and non-Smart batteries &ndash via compatible receivers (including the Bind-N-Fly&reg Basic version's AR631) and Spektrum AirWare&trade equipped transmitters. The Bind-N-Fly&reg Basic version also offers the handling benefits of AS3X&reg and optional-use SAFE&reg Select technologies. An innovative Hands-Free Servo Connection System automatically plugs in the aileron and flap servo connectors when you install the two-piece wing with just 4 bolts. The Commander mPd 1.4m arrives factory-finished in an exclusive Aircraft Studio Design trim scheme and requires no glue for assembly. That means you can have it ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery!
