Horizon Hobby V1200

Radio-Controlled Sport & Racing Plane for RC Pilots

Details

Fly fast and in style with the E-flite V1200, one of the fastest ready-to-fly prop aircraft available. Known for its impressive speed and surprisingly stable slow-flight performance, it features functional flaps for easier landings and strong aerobatic capability. This updated version includes larger and more durable retractable landing gear, a brighter high-visibility trim scheme, and an improved finish.

Powered by a high-performance brushless system, the V1200 can reach 110+ MPH on a 4S battery or up to 140+ MPH with a 6S 3200–7000mAh pack. This setup supports AS3X+ stabilization and optional SAFE Select for added flight assistance.

Six metal-geared digital servos with ball-link linkages deliver precise control, while operational flaps improve low-speed handling for shorter takeoffs and landings. The upgraded retracts with sprung struts allow operation from paved, packed dirt, or short grass runways. Built from reinforced high-density EPO, the sleek airframe is stronger, smoother, and more resistant to dents.

Assembly is quick and glue-free, with only a few screws required to attach the stabs and one-piece wing, making transport and setup simple. 

Features:

  • Ultra-high speed performance – Reaches 110+ MPH on 4S batteries and up to 140+ MPH on 6S batteries.
  • Wide flight envelope – Capable of stable slow flight, smooth landings, and precision aerobatics.
  • Durable electric retractable landing gear – Upgraded retracts with sprung wire struts for operation on paved or short grass surfaces.
  • Smart power system with telemetry – Spektrum Avian 100A Smart ESC provides real-time data such as battery voltage, motor RPM, and temperature.
  • Quick and easy assembly – No glue required, ready to fly with only a few bolts and a convenient one-piece wing system.
