This 3D RC Plane is AWESOME - E-Flite Eratix 3D Flat Foamy

Picked up this E-Flite Eratix 3D Flat Foamy from my local hobby store. I wanted a plane to practice 3D flying in my backyard and after opening the box I didn't think I would be able to fly a plane this size in a small space. I was WRONG! This 3D flat foamy is amazing and easy to fix after crashes. I LOVE IT!

I like your flying. I like your attitude. I see in the comments that foam 2 foam is maybe not the best solution for a hinge. But it seemed to work.

[@behsq125]

Nice attitude. Showing the crashs and repairs is valuable experience feedback.

[@AerialRCFun]

One of my favorite planes. Have PNP version, no gyro, not needed, thing flies awesome. I like this vid and your flying, cool channel, thanks.

[@trondaustad8617]

Nice flight and plane. Love to have one .

[@Jays_rcgarage]

It’s definitely fun!! Pick one up!

[@RC-planes.]

Great as always

[@Jays_rcgarage]

Thank you !

[@sweetskujo1352]

What a great video! And I love that plane! You can fly me to the Bahamas now!

[@hotheadedfilmshhf6734]

Hey great vid, i know its a little late but i did the same thing and broke my aileron. I just put electrical tap on it and never had a problem again. Ive crashed it the same way a hand ful of times.

[@mclarencraze7373]

Best 4 channel rtf and cheapest Rc plane

[@michelpetrus]

Nice video with great filming quality and thanks for sharing how the hinge was fixed. How much expo you have with the 100% rates ?

[@Jays_rcgarage]

Thanks for watching 😎 Manual calls for 30% on high rates… I believe I have mine at 20%

[@vermrc2511]

I’m at 37% on all on 100% rates flys much smoother than 30%

[@whowell117]

Was that Bayshore Hobby shop?

[@citabria808]

I found that the Foam 2 Foam glue is too brittle/hard for hinges once it is cured.

[@christianconlon8444]

I've wanted this plane since E-flite released it, just gotta save my penniezz

[@Jays_rcgarage]

You can fly mine 👏🏼

[@willardmullard3211]

Anybody by any chance know what motor it is?

[@itsme_luke]

What is a good second plane? ive been needing to find one, and im going to a hobby shop soon..

[@Jays_rcgarage]

What was your first plane ?

[@itsme_luke]

@@Jays_rcgarage a Umx turbo timber.. I can fly it without the gyro! But my second plane I will be flying with the as3x

[@Jays_rcgarage]

@@itsme_luke turbo Timber flys great. Maybe the bigger version? I’d say you are probably ready for anything you want. Grab a jet with safe and learn the EDF world !

[@itsme_luke]

@@Jays_rcgarage okay! I’ll probably either get a jet, timber, or commander!

[@Jays_rcgarage]

@@itsme_luke all good choices. Commander is a good plane too!! Flew one and loved it

[@old-rcplane-phart]

BAD part about foamboard is, 1 part of the 'paper' is cut away, & the paper 'hinges' don't last. Especially having 50% or more rates, doing 3d. I've been moving my CG back. It's close. Find out today 🤞! Also, I subbed sir!

[@Jays_rcgarage]

Yeah! I found that out .. ended up gluing all the hinges and so far so good. Slowly working my way to mostly balsa lol! Thanks for the sub 😎

[@insurancemann1]

SAFE would have saved you. Also, blendurem tape would’ve had you back and flying in under five minutes.

[@Jays_rcgarage]

Definitely, but with this plane I’m worried about the weight. Because it’s 3D I would have needed to tape the entire hinge top and bottom. The small amount of glue added basically no weight !

[@flynnsrc5501]

$480 were im from

[@matejbludsky8410]

That price tag though 🤦‍♂️🤪 this should be more like $100 .. flat foam is super easy to make and the electronics are literally worth maybe $30 at most .. spektrum tech Is super old and overpriced and not performing.. who would buy this 🤪

[@Jays_rcgarage]

I’ll partially agree. I think ALL of Horizon hobby’s stuff is over priced. But if their selection this is definitely the best 3D plane for the money

[@matejbludsky8410]

@@Jays_rcgarage there are better planes for much cheaper on Banggood .. all horizon stuff is from china anyways .. they are literally only running because of old farts don't know better and can't use computer

[@AerialRCFun]

You have a point which is why I intend to simply copy the foam pattern/dimensions of the Eratix and cut a bunch out of my own foam board with cnc router..
