Air Tractor 502XP – More Power To You.
We’ve taken 500-series aircraft to a new level. The 502XP rises above other 500-gallon aircraft in high/hot conditions. Take off with a full load. All day, every day.
The Air Tractor 502XP has the Xtra Power to haul a full load even on the hottest days. It’s a productive balance of an advanced airframe and engine—providing speed, capacity, and productivity in high and/or hot conditions. The 502XP will help you finish more acres in less time, with less effort. Driving that performance is the Pratt & Whitney PT6A-140AG turboshaft engine. It has 867 horsepower available for takeoff all day, every day. The power is yours. Use it to your advantage.

Over the Fire Line, All Over the Globe.
From the Americas, across Europe, through the Mediterranean region, and around the world, the Air Tractor AT-802F continues, season after season, to prove its value as an aerial firefighting asset without parallel.

Descended from a long line of the world's most trusted aerial application aircraft, the Air Tractor AT-802F is built for battling fires large and small—not only as an initial attack firefighter, but also for extended duties supporting ground crews.

Visit https://horizonhobby.cc/UMXAirTractor for more information on the E-flite UMX Air Tractor.
Air Tractor ag and utility airplanes have earned a reputation for friendly handling, incredible capabilities, and unmatched versatility. Those qualities carry over to the E-flite® UMX™ (Ultra Micro eXtreme) Air Tractor, and along with exclusive Spektrum™ AS3X® and SAFE® Select technologies, make it a perfect scale low-wing model for intermediate to experienced RC pilots. The specially-tuned motor and 3-blade prop provide fantastic scale and sport aerobatic flight performance with 2S 280–300mAh LiPo batteries, or you can install a 3S battery for more power and unlimited vertical without the need for any modifications or upgrades. Functional flaps improve slow-speed handling while also offering Short Take Off and Landing (STOL) capabilities. And because of its convenient ultra-micro size, it can be flown in more places and smaller spaces including many yards, parks, and sports fields, while the oversized tires allow it to fly from paved, dirt, gravel and even some grass surfaces. The factory-applied and fully painted finish provides excellent visibility along with striking scale looks that are accented by LED navigation, strobe and landing lights. Best of all, it arrives 100% factory assembled and ready to fly right out of the box, plus the box includes a handle so it’s perfect to use for safe and convenient storage/transport of the model. The E-flite UMX Air Tractor delivers a unique flying experience a wide range of pilots will enjoy, even if it's your first scale or low-wing model!

Raw materials in... big yellow Air Tractors out. I think that's what was so mind-blowing about our factory tour at Air Tractor. We saw ceiling-high shelves stacked with sheet metal, steel bars that weigh more than both of us combined, and metal tubing in all diameters, thicknesses, and lengths. We then proceeded to see how these materials were used by many skilled hands to build one of the world's most popular ag planes.
We had no idea that almost every component, except for a select few, is made right there in Olney, Texas. Everything from instrument panels, to hoses, to landing gear... there's a little (or large) corner in the factory for every step. Every part, panel, and connection is inspected, generally twice or three times and they are pushing a new airplane out every 22 hours (roughly 4.5 weeks for 402s and 502s, 32 hours for 802s). The logistics alone are jaw-dropping.
Aside from seeing what goes in to manufacturing an airplane, we also got to talk with a few of Air Tractor’s 300 employees. The passion and heart these people are putting into their work is incredible to witness.
We're extremely grateful for the opportunity we had to visit and film while at their headquarters. It should be noted that this video is just a GLIMPSE into the factory and by no means covers every single thing going on. It would take days to cover every corner of the factory but this is a basic look inside what it takes to make a big yellow airplane.
Following this video is a Q & A with Jeff Dobbs, Rick Turner, and Jim Hirsch, be sure to subscribe so you don't miss it.
Thanks also for your understanding of some of the audio qualms in this video. We toured the factory during normal business hours which means people are hard at work and it was a pretty loud environment. In addition to loud background noise, at the time of shooting there was a mask mandate in place so that muffled voices a bit. We are always learning!

This is how Horizon Hobby describes this E-flite UMX RC Plane:
"The E-flite UMX Air Tractor is an easy-to-fly ultra micro version of the crop duster that's a perfect first scale or low-wing model for intermediate and beyond pilots. It features a 2S and 3S compatible power system, functional lights, and flaps!
Texas-based Air Tractor was founded in 1978 and is a leading manufacturer of aircraft built for agricultural, firefighting, and other utility applications. Air Tractor aircraft can be found hard at work over fields and forests in more than 30 countries worldwide. Factory-finished in the familiar, high-visibility yellow and blue trim scheme with molded-in panel lines, rivets and more, the E-flite® UMX Air Tractor offers a superb scale appearance you'll be proud to show off everywhere you go. It features exclusive Spektrum AS3X and SAFE Select technologies, making it a perfect scale low-wing model for intermediate to experienced RC pilots. It's also equipped with functional features including LED navigation and landing lights, flaps, and oversized tires, plus it's capable yet easy to fly making it an ideal choice for your first — or next — scale or low-wing airplane.
Air Tractor ag and utility airplanes have earned a reputation for friendly handling, incredible capabilities, and unmatched versatility. Those qualities carry over to the E-flite® UMX™ (Ultra Micro eXtreme) Air Tractor, and along with exclusive Spektrum™ AS3X® and SAFE® Select technologies, make it a perfect scale low-wing model for intermediate to experienced RC pilots. The specially-tuned motor and 3-blade prop provide fantastic scale and sport aerobatic flight performance with 2S 280–300mAh LiPo batteries, or you can install a 3S battery for more power and unlimited vertical without the need for any modifications or upgrades. Functional flaps improve slow-speed handling while also offering Short Take Off and Landing (STOL) capabilities. And because of its convenient ultra-micro size, it can be flown in more places and smaller spaces including many yards, parks, and sports fields, while the oversized tires allow it to fly from paved, dirt, gravel and even some grass surfaces. The factory-applied and fully painted finish provides excellent visibility along with striking scale looks that are accented by LED navigation, strobe and landing lights. Best of all, it arrives 100% factory assembled and ready to fly right out of the box, plus the box includes a handle so it's perfect to use for safe and convenient storage/transport of the model. The E-flite UMX Air Tractor delivers a unique flying experience a wide range of pilots will enjoy, even if it's your first scale or low-wing model!"
