Flying the NEW E-Flite Eratix 3D FF (Flat Foamy)!

[@warbuzzard7167]

You can claim whatever you'd like about the electronics and its ability to make it easy to fly for a beginner. But your amazing talent is on show here. Superb flying!

[@waynemiller6070]

A very capable plane in very capable hands!

[@robieosborne7369]

Thank you for this video. So many videos of it flying like a trainer. I really needed to see what this thing could do!

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

Awesome and thank you for sharing Ethan!

[@yenny527]

I really enjoy watching you fly, both planes and helis

[@jalupelz7832]

I though im a good pilot but your 3D skills are insane

[@SpektrumRCvideos]

Very nice!!!

[@epoweredrc]

Great flight Ethan. awesome looking plane, I for sure want this one. I was hoping to see some 4D flying with it.. Should be a good one for it.

[@UngluedModeler]

You're a machine bro! amazing flying

[@StevesRC]

Nice flying. Can't wait for mine!

[@learningtoflyrc]

Nice demonstration of what it can do! I really like the easy build no glue idea and if you price out a decent foamy with electronics it's a pretty good deal for what you get IMO. I already have the same batteries that the Ultrix 600 uses so it's very tempting!

[@WA1LBK]

Just bought & built one myself; 3 flights on it so far, still trimming & tweaking it, but VERY impressed with it so far. Haven't tried any of the extreme aerobatics you were doing with it yet, mainly because the days I took it out were dark & cloudy enough to make orientation difficult; just did some very basic stuff like reverse 1/2 Cuban 8's, split - S's, stall turns & loops. VERY EASY to take off & land; it gets off the ground (grass in the case of the park I tried it in) in about 5 ~ 10 feet at something like 1/2 throttle, very easy to fly slowly, & slows down to a walk for landing, again, 5 ~ 10 feet or less to land. Thinking of adding lighting to it for flying on days like the ones I tried it in (hint to Horizon Hobbies; come out with a plug - in lighting kit for it with some of the cool strobing effects like the kit for the UMX Ultrix has!).

[@SppeedFreek]

Wondering which you like more for 3D this or the twisted hobbys super extra? TIA

[@LyroLife]

The E-flite Eratix has AS3X stabilisation. Should fly pretty in light wind.

[@Brian_Christensen07RC]

This thing flies like crap but it’s super easy to assemble. The twisted hobbies planes may take more time but if you’re patient it’s SOOO worth it. The twisted planes outfly this any day of the week 52 weeks a year

[@bobwatson6558]

Great to see this how much how assembled does it come.

[@Prince.15306]

That was great flyer

[@BlueridgeAcres]

fun, need the eflite vpp prop option

[@juniorwest5706]

I've been pondering getting one of these or something like it , to learn 3d flight , this one is definitely at the top of the list , I know I'm gonna tear it up " learning " to 3d fly , just wondering if it gonna be coast efficient , repairs / replacement parts conspired to other brands ?

[@old_coastie]

As a long time flat foam flyer... It should be, most flat foam manf. do NOT offer replacement parts, you have to buy the whole kit, Course most of us just cut some more foam... One thing you will want for repairs is a tube of Beacon Foam Tac...

[@MrTimmyGT]

@@old_coastie Foam Tac is amazing, just buy a case so you have it lol

[@lw216316]

Help - a question please - the Spektrum 850 3s battery recommended- in the Horizon web site here is a quote about that battery - " Please note - Spektrum IC2 connectors and charge leads ARE NOT compatible with EC2 connectors" and if you read the comments about that battery people say it will not connect to their chargers. It appears you must buy an adapter in order to charge it. Can you confirm this? What adapter is needed ? It this is true then it seems you must use the Spektrum battery with its ic2 connector and that is a $30 battery. I already have other batteries I would like to use. So does this mean I need an adapter to go from the ic2 to either an xt60 or ec3 that I already have?

[@propgear123]

Either that or change out the connector and swap it to 1 that ya batteries have on them

[@rackmasterh]

Or just use an Ice to just adapter and pay half as much for your batteries

[@jaynap1970]

Which battery are you running? The 600 or 850 mAh

[@HomesteadFarms420]

so they send you an early copy cause it's in preorder right now ?

[@robieosborne7369]

Hi, What are your rates and expo?

[@stomptheelites]

If I got into RC Planes, this would be the one for me because it's good for beginners and pros. But $200 isn't pocket change, still good price for the Hobby.🍀Fun to watch you fly, seems to cut like a hot knife on butter.

[@abundantharmony]

If you can't afford a $200 aircraft, this is the wrong hobby for you. You're looking at upwards of $600 for decent foam planes. This is a rarity that you get quality like this for only $200.

[@brentwilson2264]

Hell ya brotha!!

[@bobwatson6558]

Link to buy. Will you do a build video what glue do you use and excellerator spray.

[@MarkJones-100]

It’s bolt together

[@JohnVHRC]

Nice

[@Wingman-ls4bs]

Ethan I just got mine today. What battery do you recommend 600 or 800 mah? I heard 800 is heavy

[@EthanAter]

I definitely recommend 450 or 600mah! 850 is definitely heavy for 3d. Here's a link to the 600mah 3s battery that I use: www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=cl&merchant_id=953aec29-878e-4306-b620-2df85883455e&website_id=feaddac2-3356-4d4e-8083-71eb2ee83554&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.horizonhobby.com%2Fproduct%2F11.1v-600mah-3s-50c-lipo-battery-ic2%2FSPMX6003SIC2.html (using this link helps me out a ton!)

[@SupremeRC]

What other rx is light enough to use with this. I don't want to pay 70 .. for rx maybe I have. Already.

[@JordanSmith-qw2nv]

where is your cg at if I may ask

[@flyingtimes1]

Nice!🤟

[@rayduffield749]

Link to buy it?

[@abundantharmony]

How long is the flight time?

[@mathiaschillisplash8997]

How much rate and expo do you use?

[@EthanAter]

I use 100% Dual Rates and 50-60% Expo

[@SupremeRC]

By the way I need to hang out with you so I can learn this 3d plane again...

[@glenhar1225]

Seems to fly heavy for this general class of plane. Will likely best suit outdoor bigger-space flying. There is such a niche. Gyros on these size planes can do wonders for all weather flying.

[@old_coastie]

Depends on what you are comparing it to... Did you NOT watch the vid of it flying inside a basketball court? Been flying this type of flat foam for the last 10 years... It ain't no Clik or F3P plane but it sure ain't no heavyweight either.

[@glenhar1225]

@@old_coastie and yes of course i watched the indoor. Thats why i said it looks like it flies heavy for the class.

[@old_coastie]

@@glenhar1225 I guess we will have to agree to disagree at least until one of us has his hands on the plane, My order is in.

[@peterrowinski2532]

I like it but in Australia it's 500 bucks...

[@MrTimmyGT]

Nice flying! You can get similar planes for much less that are just as good. I love most of the releases from HH but this one missed the mark just based on the price IMO.

[@RC-xg9cw]

Which one you can find at a more afffordable price? I would like to know since i have to buy the transmitter too and that's 200$ or more added. Thanks👍🏻

[@Cakey831]

@@RC-xg9cw you can’t. You can find kits for around $80 dollars without electronics. By the time you add everything in a decent plane with run about $220-240 with you putting it together. This is a BNF, and you can have it flying in 10 minutes. It’s a good price for this model.

[@MrTimmyGT]

@@Cakey831 you can get kits with all the electronics except rx for about $130. Add $20 rx you are at $150. If saving some time building is worth $50 to you then by all means buy this.

[@dharmeshpanchal4324]

How much rs

[@pilotoleng6357]

Mantap... Salam pilot

[@shckltnebay]

$200 for $50 maybe in materials !!!!!!!

That's business for ya 🤣🤣👍🏼

[@abundantharmony]

The electronics alone are easily over a hundred bucks. Y'all are trippin here in the comments.
