Makeflyeasy Fighter 2430mm VTOL (PNP Pro Kit)
Let's be clear: this isn't a toy you fly in the park on a Sunday. The Makeflyeasy Fighter is a professional-grade, 2.4-meter VTOL platform engineered for serious, long-range missions. It's an aerial workhorse, meticulously optimised over five iterations for endurance, payload capacity, and operational resilience in the field. This PNP (Plug-N-Play) version is the perfect middle ground: we provide the expertly matched powertrain and advanced airframe; you bring your choice of autopilot and mission-specific payload to create the ultimate aerial tool.

The PNP Advantage: A Curated Powertrain
This isn't just a box of foam and some generic electronics. The PNP Pro Kit includes the complete airframe plus a high-performance powertrain meticulously tested and selected by the Makeflyeasy engineers for maximum efficiency and reliability. Forget the compatibility headaches and component guesswork. You get:
- 4x Custom MFE 160kv Lift Motors & 12S ESCs
- 1x Custom MFE 200kv Forward Motor & 12S 60A ESC
- 2x Pairs of 20-inch Carbon Fibre VTOL Propellers
- 1x APC Forward Flight Propeller
- 5x High-Torque EMAX ES3054 Metal Gear Servos
- 1x 10A UBEC and a complete, pre-terminated wiring pack
Assembly Note: Your Build, Your Way
To be crystal clear: this is a builder's kit, not a ready-to-fly aircraft. You will receive the core airframe components and a full suite of professional-grade electronics for you to install and integrate with your chosen autopilot. This approach allows for ultimate customisation, maintenance access, and a deep understanding of your platform. However, if your time is more valuable than your tinkering skills, the Unmanned Tech build team can assemble, configure, and test it for you.

Endurance That Outlasts the Mission
The Fighter's primary design goal is endurance. With a 600g payload and a pair of 6S 22000mAh batteries, you can achieve flight times over two hours and a range exceeding 150km. This isn't just about impressive numbers; it's about getting the job done in a single flight, reducing operational costs and complexity. Whether it's mapping vast areas or conducting long-range surveillance, the Fighter has the legs to go the distance.
A Payload Bay That Means Business
A great airframe is useless without the ability to carry meaningful equipment. The Fighter boasts a cavernous 280x160x110mm payload cabin, capable of carrying up to 1.5kg of mission-critical gear. It's designed to comfortably house full-frame mapping cameras like the Sony A7R, multi-lens oblique cameras, or even lightweight LiDAR systems. This is the flexibility you need to adapt the platform to any number of commercial applications.
Advanced VTOL Aerodynamics & Field Operations
Runways are a luxury. The Fighter's robust 4+1 VTOL configuration frees you from that constraint, allowing for takeoff and landing in confined spaces. The airframe's inverted T-tail layout is optimised for stability and efficiency in forward flight. On the ground, the entire aircraft breaks down without tools. The quick-release wings and tail feature integrated, high-quality connectors, allowing you to go from a transport case to flight-ready in minutes, not hours. It's an entire system designed for real-world, in-the-field deployment.
Engineered for Reliability
Every detail of the Fighter is built for resilience. The IPX3 waterproof rating sheds light rain. Internally, dedicated wiring channels and a removable distribution board keep your setup clean and electromagnetically quiet. Redundant servos on the horizontal tail and dual connectors on the wings provide an extra layer of safety. This isn't just a drone; it's a dependable tool designed to protect your investment in payloads and data.
