Friday Night Flights - E-Flite Eratix 3D Flat Foamy
Come fly with us on a beautiful Friday evening, as we try out different aircraft and try and earn our pilot's badge...
Tonight we're flying the E-Flite Eratix Flat Foamy 3d plane!
I've had this plane for about a month now, and it's been smashed into the ground more weeks than it's been flown!
Durable, extremely agile, and confidence inspiring, this RC airplane has become one of my absolute favorites in the hanger. When I want to try something new (outside of the simulator) I grab this plane and head to the nearest open area for some lessons in the air.
. E-Flite Eratix .
Wingspan: 34.0 in (863.5mm)
Length: 35.7 in (906.5mm)
Weight: 13.3 oz (376g) with 3S 600mAh battery
Weight: 11.1 oz (314g) without battery
Battery: 3S 11.1V 600-850mAh LiPo with IC2 Connector
Clear skies & GOD BLESS!
JN316

We really hope you enjoyed this flight! Let us know if this format works, and what you’d like to see next! We’ve got warbirds and more in the hanger! Thank you friends ❤️

Good stuff. On this video you landed shortly after the telemetry warning. If I did that I would get a two minute flight. So I have to ignore the telemetry warning for another three minutes or so while I'm practicing my knife spins. Lol

You make a nice vid.... you should be in broadcasting... nicely narrated... Ya u have to be careful dropping that thing when landing.... it will break right down the middle...lol I love that plane alot.

@honeywoodhobby 16 дней назад

Thank you very much! 👍🏼 I greatly appreciate the kind words! It is a whole lotta fun, and you’re absolutely right….i did and my fuse is now 2 pieces held together with foam tac 😂

@waynemiller6070 5 месяцев назад

I wanted to say, crack yak is also on my list. But the crack laser lite I believe is almost the same plane. And I have two of those. They are also very similar to the eratix except lighter. But for the money, I think the eratix is the best value I've seen in this kind of plane. A little heavy for indoor flying though. That's why I have the other foamies.

Ya great video. I'm looking for my first 3d plane. Not sure yet. I'm leaning towards this one because mine too will be full of foam tac. Lol. Thanks for sharing. I will be watching more.

@honeywoodhobby 10 месяцев назад

Thank you 👍🏼 Haha it’s an awesome plane that you won’t be too afraid to put down for sure! I still get sweaty palms with my Extra 300 and I’ve got the rates way dumbed down on that thing too. But, since flying the Eratix my confidence has soared with the 300 and I maaaaay be looking into a 60’ balsa bird this winter 🫣 Have some hinge tape or packaging tape on hand + foam tac and you can fix most anything with this one 😎 Thank you for watching friend! I’ll be publishing a mix of some Eratix flights soon! 👍🏼

@justinninke6405 10 месяцев назад

Very cool, liked the longer video, the shorts are cool too. A mixture of both is good cause you can cater to both kinds of audiences. The explanation is cool too, since I don't really know anything about RC. I appreciate the videos, looks like you and your son are enjoying life!

@honeywoodhobby 10 месяцев назад

Thanks friend 🙂👍🏼 You’ll have to come out and we’ll set you up on a Cessna linked in with another transmitter acting as the “instructor” that can take over at any time 😁

@justinninke6405 10 месяцев назад

@honeywoodhobby I'd be game for that for sure. Once I get some good time in on the plane and proficient, have to take you and your son for a flight. I fly out to Vermont this Thursday, if it passes the pre-buy inspection on Friday, I fly it home! Very excited and anxious!

@honeywoodhobby 10 месяцев назад

YES dude! You got this! Good luck and God speed! I wanna come check it out as soon as you get it home, provided all goes according to plan 😃

Helo from france , beautifull idea ..i like your life view about ..rc spirit progress ..My question is ...I have two models the Trojan T28 1.1 and the easy glider ....so i fly without any control systhem ok ? can i used this plane on basic mode with a simple turnigy controleur ..no assisatnce or save select ... the reason is to stay on the pure flying progression ..slowly ..try to endurstand ...and accepting the eventuel probleme in the air . Sorry for my bad english ..and thanks for your response .

Hello friend! 🙋‍♂️ Thank you for watching! If you are asking if you can put your own receiver on the Eratix and find success, then yes! I have a few other balsa wood 3d planes that I fly without any stabilizer or assistance, and I very much enjoy flying like this as well! The help AS3X provides to a beginner is very valuable, but for a more connected feel, and pure flying experience, I do recommend no stabilizer! I have really come to enjoy flying without one, as I can feel what the plane is doing much better.

@jimbo8390 9 месяцев назад

Im still kind of new to the hobby and your a hell alot better than me. What was the easiest way you learned how to fly like that

@honeywoodhobby 9 месяцев назад

Thank you friend! I’m obsessed. Flying is like the medication my brain needs lol. I spend about 20 minutes every night on Real Flight trying something hard and new. First hover, then knife edging, then point rolls, and on. It all started though with ballin her up 5 mistakes high and figuring out orientation and how to come out of it, over, and over, and over, and over. Can you hover? If not, fire up that sim and crash till you can hover canopy towards you. I feel like learning to hover early rapidly accelerated my understanding of rudder and control. After that everything started to feel very different more connected! Let me know how I can help friend! I’m putting out a aerobatics video this weekend with the Eratix but I’m no teacher yet as I still have sooo much to learn myself lol

@LefTab 9 месяцев назад

Really enjoyed this video! How long have you been flying 3D? I recently got myself a Crack Yak and it's been an absolute blast, still just Hovers and Harriers for the moment, very little space to work with. Hoping to master the Rolling Harrier one day :D

@honeywoodhobby 9 месяцев назад

Thank you very much! I've been flying since about May of this year, and started 3D on the simulator nearly from the start, as an attempt to force myself to learn how to use the rudder lol. I cannot rolling harrier for the life of me 😂😂 maaaaybe one rotation and then GROUND POUND haha. I really just need to order a Crack Yak already too after constantly hearing how great it is!

@LefTab 9 месяцев назад

@@honeywoodhobby It really is worth it, relatively inexpensive and assembly is a breeze! For the knife edge spins, I imagine you practiced in the simulator first, could you maybe point me to a video or website that helped you learn that maneuver?

@honeywoodhobby 9 месяцев назад

That's awesome! I may have to build one this winter now haha I actually learned the KE spin accidentally when snap rolling into some out of control tumbly stuff LOL. Honestly did it IRL and then tried it in the sim to see if the sim was accurate 🤣 For me it's been about timing and feel. I've been practicing trying to cleanly enter them on a down line by rolling into it, bringing the tail down and around with rudder, and getting on the down elevator and throttle hard. I've watched a number of things by Michael Wargo, RC AIR, Two Brothers since trying to figure out what I'm doing as well! Hard for me to translate what my hands are instinctively doing into words at the moment, but I'm learning! haha. Thanks again for watching friend!

@jack78_ 10 месяцев назад

just subbbed,thnx for sharing, i just bought the eratix, i was running 100/0 now with your suggests im going to run the 70/65 any source for the 3d stuff to learn off of?, i threw the insta360 go 2 action cam on the eratix, i have a vid on my channel🛩🛩🛩

@honeywoodhobby 10 месяцев назад

After much time in the sim I’m up to 100% throws digitally with 60% expo! 🫣Haha getting used to that much elevator throw was the most difficult, as I just stalled her out every time I’d get close to the ground lol. The expo helps soften up the initial stroke of the stick immensely, but too much can create a “wall” so to speak that will cause a very aggressive increase in rates midway through the stick movement. So play with it between 40-60% and see what feels best! I’m still at only 80 on the ailerons though! I’ve got some very good teachers at my local club that have helped me a lot and I’ve watched a fair amount of @michaelwargo and others on YT as well. I’ll be posting another vid of the Eratix and my progress learning to knife edge and flat spin this week, and I hope to start using a stick cam and trying to teach what I’ve been learning! That sounds rad! It had to feel pretty heavy with that thing on there haha! I’ll check it out! Thanks for watching friend! 🙂👍🏼
