Introduction
E-flite takes ARF ducted fan performance and
engineering to new heights with the Habu 32 DF.
Designed around the E-flite Delta-V
®
32 80mm fan unit
and 2150Kv DF32 brushless motor, its hyper-efficient
intake and exhaust ducting allows this potent combo
to produce large amounts of thrust when powered with
an E-flite 6S 5000 30C Li-Po pack. And it does so
without resorting to drag-inducing cheater holes. The
result is a sport EDF with exhilarating speed that will
give even experienced jet jockeys goose bumps.
As the first Platinum Series E-flite
®
ducted fan, the
Habu 32 DF also boasts a level of fit and finish
that is every bit as impressive as its performance.
Its sleek fiberglass fuselage comes pre-painted and
integrates the vertical stabilizer. The fully-sheeted
wings and horizontal stabilizers are mounted with
carbon blade spars and covered with genuine
UltraCote
®
covering. The control surfaces are hinged
for you. Just add the optional E-flite electric retracts
(sold separately), and you’ve got a sport jet that
truly stands out from the crowd.

Using the Manual

between each major section. In addition, check boxes
have been placed next to each step to keep track
of its completion. Steps with a single circle (

performed once, while steps with two or more circles
(
