E-flight
E-flite is an American company that produces radio-controlled (RC) aircraft, helicopters, and other RC-related products. The company was founded in 1999 by the Horizon Hobby company, which is one of the largest distributors of RC products in the world.
E-flite was created to cater to the growing demand for high-quality, electric-powered RC aircraft. The company's first product was the E-flite Eratix, a 3D-capable aerobatic aircraft designed to be flown using electric power.
Over the years, E-flite has expanded its product line to include a wide range of RC aircraft, from small indoor models to large, high-performance planes. The company has also developed a number of innovative technologies, such as the SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) system, which helps pilots to fly their planes more safely and confidently.
E-flite has won numerous awards for its products, including multiple "Best of Show" awards at the annual Toledo Weak Signals RC Expo. The company has also been recognized for its commitment to quality and customer service, and has built a loyal following among RC enthusiasts around the world.
Today, E-flite continues to innovate and expand its product line, with a focus on producing high-quality, innovative products that push the boundaries of what's possible in RC flight. The company remains part of the Horizon Hobby family of brands, and is based in Champaign, Illinois.
