Makeflyeasy (MFE) Fighter 2430mm EPO Airplane Assembly Kit

Brand: MakeFlyEasy. Product type: Drones, EW, drone detectors, components > Drones and quadcopters > Aircraft models. This offer is presented as an assembly kit (KIT) with the possibility of configuration into a PNP assembly according to operator needs.

PNP (Plug-N-Play) Format

The PNP format implies the delivery of the model with basic power and service equipment: typically, the kit includes servos, a motor, and an electronic speed controller (ESC). For full flight capability, the user must independently add a battery, receiver, and use their own transmitter (radio remote control). A PNP kit does not include a flight controller, GNSS modules, FPV camera, video transmitter (VTX), telemetry, or other additional sensors; these components are selected separately according to the operator's tasks.

KIT (Assembly Kit) Format

KIT means that only the structural part of the aircraft is supplied: fuselage, wings, and other airframe elements without electronics and power components. This is an optimal option for those who wish to fully personalize the platform — install their own motors, ESCs, servos, flight controller, power system, cameras, or lidar for specific tasks.

Model Description

The MakeFlyEasy Fighter aircraft model is a fixed-wing platform designed for a payload of up to 1.5 kg and an operating platform weight of up to 10 kg, with a maximum takeoff weight of 11.5 kg. The model combines portability, ease of operation, in-flight stability, and high structural strength, making it suitable for aerial photography and professional operations. The modular design allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the aircraft: wings, folding arms, and tail elements are detachable for convenient transport. The mechanics are compatible with Pixhawk flight control systems and support mounting a full-frame Sony A7R2 camera (specified as 4200W) or a lightweight lidar weighing up to 1.5 kg. The recommended battery is a 12s 22000 mAh lithium-polymer, ensuring extended flight duration for aerial photography and monitoring tasks.

Practical Application

With appropriate control points and proper photogrammetric processing, the platform can provide mapping at scales of 1:1000 and 1:2000. This makes the model useful for geodesic work, monitoring agricultural lands and forests, inspecting power lines, environmental control, and construction monitoring.

Design and Ergonomics Features

• Lightweight and durable EPO material ensures an optimal mass-to-endurance ratio for the platform.
• Well-designed cockpit hatch for convenient access and reliable operation.
• Large fuselage capacity allows for accommodating bulky batteries, cameras, and additional equipment.
• The ESC hatch cover is removable — the speed controller can be replaced without complex disassembly of the body.
• The aileron servo is removable, with no need to change the servo cable during maintenance.
• The bottom buffer layer reduces impact load during landing and protects the fuselage and optical equipment.
• The ergonomic shape of the rear fuselage facilitates lifting and hand launch (throwing).
• The platform supports oblique photography and aerial photography with the ability to achieve mapping scales of 1:1000 and 1:2000.
• Support for hand launch and parachute landing system is provided for various application scenarios.

Installation and Recommendations

• When soldering the high-current connector, follow the correct sequence of welding lines to avoid damage to the ESC and servos.
• It is recommended to use Emax ES3154 digital servos or other servos with similar dimensions for correct installation and reliable operation of the equipment.

Flight Rules

• Avoid flying and maneuvering at speeds around 10 m/s in areas with increased collision risk — this minimizes the likelihood of accidents.
• Before flight, ensure the correct and reliable installation of the motor and propeller, as well as the strength of the ESC signal line connections and power cables.

Please note: this kit is not a complete aircraft and requires additional components and settings for full configuration — battery, receiver, transmitter, flight controller, and additional sensors depending on the purpose.
