This item is discontinued and no longer available for purchase. You may want to search our site for a similar item.
This is the ParkZone VisionAire Bind-N-Fly Electric Airplane, with AS3X Technology. The ParkZone VisionAire park flyer is specifically designed for sport pilots by 3D pioneer, Quique Somenzini. Its wings are constructed of hollow Z-foam material that has been reinforced with carbon fiber to create structures that are stiffer and lighter than solid foam. This rigid, lightweight airframe is paired with a powerful 10-size, 1250kV brushless motor that delivers the vertical performance you need for an exhilarating 3D flying experience.
What makes the VisionAire such a great 3D plane for sport pilots is the advanced AS3X (Artificial Stabilization – 3-aXis) System built into its AR635 receiver. The AS3X System works behind the scenes to counter the effects of wind and turbulence, using 3-axis sensing and flight control software tuned by Quique Somenzini. If you’ve never flown 3D before, this enhanced stability will give you the confidence you need to try high alpha maneuvers like harriers, hovers, torque rolls and more.
You can adjust the amount of stability the AS3X System provides or turn it off completely, but even 3D pros will find flying with it on feels completely natural. There is no delay in control response or limits on the control throws. You’ll simply feel like you’re flying an expertly tuned model that goes right where you point it.

ParkZone VisionAire Bind-N-Fly Electric Airplane
This is a great park flier with great power and impressive handling. It took 20 minutes to assemble and it flew great right off the bat. I've ran 20-plus packs through it with no mechanical issues. I've hit the ground hard a couple times and the plane has been very resilient. I would suggest running a 13x4 prop instead of the 12x4, especially at higher elevations (I'm at 4,500ft).

This plane would be near perfect if it came with a Power25 or even a Power15 and a 60c battery. At least in Colorado, the OEM motor, prop and battery are not adequate for aggressive 3D flying. Ditch the BL10, get a 60c battery and this plane is awesome. The plane balances perfectly with a power25 (using the power25 prop adapter). I generally fly it off a small ball diamond in a park near my home. It slows down very nicely and drops predictably. If you live at high altitude, I strongly recommend ditching the 12x4 prop for an APC 13x4e, pull off the motor and cone and replace it with a Power15 or Power25 and a 4s lipo. The last time I enjoyed a plane as much as the VisionAire was when I owned an Eflite foam ultimate bipe. Well done Horizon Hobby!

I really enjoy flying this plane! Before this plane I flew the champ, sky cruiser ,radian . None of them capable of what the visionaire will do. Take offs and landings were easy( even though I was very nervous) . It didn't take long before I was flying rolls,loops inverted and knife edge.(after 4-5 six minute flights).
Lots of time on the simulator helped.
