BNF ("Bind And Fly")

Bind N' Fly airplanes/quads/helis already come with a receiver so all that is required is for you to bind the receiver to your radio. It is important to make sure that the receiver that comes with the model is compatible with your radio. For instance, if you have a Spektrum transmitter, only a Spektrum receiver will be able to bind it to an aircraft compatible with Spektrum receivers. Most radios and receivers are proprietary and only work together.

Hobbico produces many "TXR" Transmitter Ready aircraft, which are essentially the convenience of a BNF since the pilot just needs to add their compatible Hobbico/Tactic brand radio. Horizon Hobby produces a wide lineup of aircraft sold in the BNF format under the sub-brands "Eflite" and "Parkzone". These aircraft are convenient additions to a pilot's fleet, eliminating the added cost of purchasing a new radio with each new aircraft.
