E-Flite SNJ-5/AT-6 Texan 1.5m PNP
Before World War II pilots became the aces of the Allied air forces, they first trained on the legendary AT-6 Texan — a rugged, reliable aircraft that demanded precision and discipline from every student. Known as the SNJ in U.S. Navy service, this advanced trainer prepared countless aviators for the challenges of frontline fighters. Today, hundreds of Texans still fly, cherished for their historic role and unmistakable sound. The E-Flite SNJ-5/AT-6 Texan 1.5m PNP pays tribute to this iconic warbird with modern technology, refined engineering, and exceptional flying performance.
This updated and upgraded version is the most capable and easiest-to-fly Texan E-flite has ever produced. Featuring a 3S and 4S compatible power system and a Spektrum™ Avian™ 70A Smart Lite ESC, the SNJ-5/AT-6 delivers smooth, responsive, and powerful performance suitable for scale flight, sport aerobatics, and high-speed passes. Finished in the historic SNJ-5 “101” trim scheme — as flown by the Commemorative Air Force’s High Sky Wing in Midland, Texas — it captures the classic look and feel of the original aircraft while incorporating durable, modern materials and advanced RC technology.
With functional flaps, operational retracts, and scale details like molded panel lines, a simulated radial engine, and a detailed cockpit, the Texan offers both realism and versatility. Its one-piece wing includes hands-free servo connections for quick assembly and easy transport, and no glue is required — you can be in the air faster than ever. Whether you’re an experienced pilot looking for a classic scale performer or an intermediate flyer ready to step up to a warbird, the SNJ-5/AT-6 Texan 1.5m PNP is designed to impress.
