Advanced Technology And A Timeless Look

David Payne and Mirco Pecorari drew from many full-scale and model aviation influences when designing the Commander mPd1.4m sport airplane. They wanted it to stand out from the crowd while having the pilot-friendly flight characteristics of traditional sport planes. This updated and upgraded version is all that and more! Easy to take off, fly, and land, it’s the perfect “next step” after a trainer. In the hands of experienced pilots, it’s also capable of higher speeds and high-energy aerobatics. The 3S and 4S compatible brushless power system, combined with a light wing loading plus factory-installed metal-geared servos and flaps, gives the Commander mPd 1.4m a wide flight envelope. It’s smooth and predictable, with power to spare for performing rolling circles, knife-edge flight, and beyond. While you fly, the exclusive SpektrumAvianSmart Lite ESC can provide a variety of real-time power system related telemetry data including motor RPM, current, battery voltage and more with Smart and non-Smart batteries via compatible receivers (including the Bind-N-FlyBasic version’s AR631) and Spektrum AirWareequipped transmitters. The Bind-N-FlyBasic version also offers the handling benefits of AS3Xand optional-use SAFESelect technologies. An innovative Hands-Free Servo Connection System automatically plugs in the aileron and flap servo connectors when you install the two-piece wing with just 4 bolts. The Commander mPd 1.4m arrives factory-finished in an exclusive Aircraft Studio Design trim scheme and requires no glue for assembly. That means you can have it ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery!

Video Overview

Exclusive Technologies

The BNFBasic version is equipped with exclusive SpektrumAS3Xand SAFESelect technologies. AS3X works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence to deliver a locked-in feel that makes it seem like you’re flying a much larger airplane. Optional-use SAFE Select offers pitch and bank angle limits along with automatic self-leveling that can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch! And if you don’t want to enable the SAFE Select features, simply bind the receiver normally and only AS3X will be active.

Smart Technology

The Commander mPd1.4m is equipped with an exclusive SpektrumAvianSmart Lite ESC that can provide a variety of real-time power system related telemetry data including motor RPM, current, battery voltage and more with Smart and non-Smart batteries via compatible receivers (including the AR631) and Spektrum AirWareequipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6, 8 and 10, iX12, iX20 and others) while you fly.

Wide Flight Envelope

The light wing loading and factory-installed flaps work together to give the model a wide flight envelope. Control response is so smooth and predictable that anyone making their “next step” from a trainer will feel comfortable right away. More experienced pilots will find that aerobatics like rolling circles, knife-edge flight and beyond feel crisp and precise and can be performed with power to spare.

More Powerful

The factory-installed brushless power system features a 45-amp SpektrumAvianSmart Lite ESC plus a specially-tuned motor to deliver an abundance of thrust with a 3S LiPo battery, or more speed and unlimited vertical performance with a 4S battery without the need for any modifications or upgrades.

More Durable

The composite-reinforced EPO airframe is lightweight yet durable. And the six factory-installed metal-geared servos with ball-link equipped linkages are faster, stronger, and more precise.

Easy Assembly

No glue is required for assembly and you can have the Commander mPdready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery! The two-piece wing with hands-free connections bolt into place and can easily be removed for convenient storage and transport. Plus it’s factory-finished in an exclusive and unique trim scheme by Aircraft Studio Design.
