PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The E-flite® Eratix 3D Sport Wood Series (SWS) 1.6m (64") offers the aggressive aerobatic plus smooth sport flying performance of similar models - without all the hassles of building one! The BNF Basic version assembles without glue and can be ready to fly in less time compared to the many hours it usually takes to construct other models in its class. It's based on the design of the "flat foamy" Eratix but features strong, stiff, and lightweight built-up wood construction. The balsa and plywood airframe with carbon fibre reinforcement throughout arrives factory-finished with genuine UltraCoteT film covering. The BNF Basic version arrives mostly factory-assembled, so you can have it flying in almost no time - without glue or special tools. A two-piece wing that installs without fasteners and tools makes it easier to store and transport. Plus, you can install the included and optional-use Side Force Generators (SFGs) for even better aerobatic capabilities.

The BNF (Bind-N-Fly) Basic version features four factory-installed high-voltage digital and metal-geared Spektrum servos, a 6S-compatible Avian 5055-500Kv outrunner motor, and a 100-amp Smart ESC that provides a variety of power system-related telemetry data with both Smart and non-Smart batteries via compatible Spektrum AirWare-equipped transmitters. This version is also equipped with an AR637TA+ receiver that provides full-range, real-time telemetry data, including overall battery voltage, current draw, ESC temp, and more, plus motor reversing for special ground handling and other capabilities. It also features the benefits of enhanced AS3X+ that's been specifically tuned for 3D/XA (eXtreme Aerobatic) performance without compromising feel, along with optional-use SAFE Select technology. The ARF (Almost-Ready-To-Fly) version is ready for you to install the electronics and power system you prefer.

Both versions feature carbon fibre landing gear with optional-use wheel pants, and a large and top-mounted canopy hatch for easy access to the battery compartment. They're also equipped with pin hinges for the ailerons, along with captured pin hinges for the elevator and rudder for easy and glue-free control surface installation or replacement. It all combines to make the Eratix 3D SWS a great first-ever "wood" and everyday sport flying to 3D aerobatic model for intermediate to experienced pilots!

BNF Basic - Skill Level 2

Skill Level 2 aircraft, like this one, are suitable for RC pilots who already have some experience and the skills to assemble, set up and fly similar class models. You should have the experience and skills necessary to successfully fly models like the E-flite Eratix 3D FF (Flat Foamy) 860mm, Sportix 1.1m, Timber X 1.2m, Extra 330 SC 3D 1.3m, or other similar class models before attempting to fly the BNF Basic version Eratix 3D SWS 1.6m (64").
PNP - Skill Level 3

Skill Level 3 aircraft, like this one, are suitable for more experienced RC pilots who already have the skills to assemble, set up and fly similar class models. This ARF version requires more experience and skills to assemble and fly than the BNF® Basic version because you will need to select and install a suitable power system, servos, and a receiver that does not already include properly tuned AS3X+ and SAFE Select technologies. You should have the experience and skills necessary to successfully fly models like the E-flite Eratix 3D FF (Flat Foamy) 860mm, Sportix 1.1m, Timber X 1.2m, Extra 330 SC 3D 1.3m, or other similar class models before attempting to fly the ARF version Eratix 3D SWS 1.6m (64").


Wide Flight Envelope

Like other similar class models, the Eratix 3D SWS is capable of slow cruising, smooth sport flying, basic aerobatics, and even aggressive 3D flying - all in the same flight! It offers a truly "mild to wild" flight experience that intermediate to experienced pilots will appreciate and enjoy.


Wood Airframe

The built-up balsa and lite-ply airframe with carbon fibre reinforcement throughout is lightweight yet stiff and strong to provide a unique and enhanced flying experience compared to foam models. Best of all it arrives mostly factory-assembled and finished in genuine UltraCote film covering. In the unfortunate event you damage any airframe parts or components and can't repair them, a full line of replacement/spare parts is readily available.


Flexible Power

The factory-installed Spektrum Avian brushless outrunner motor in the BNF Basic version, is compatible with 6S 3200-7000mAh batteries to offer a wide range of flight times and performance - from sport flying and basic aerobatics to hovering and unlimited vertical performance. Plus, the large and convenient top-mounted canopy hatch makes it easy to install and remove batteries.


Easy Assembly

The BNF Basic version Eratix 3D SWS 1.6m (64") arrives mostly factory-assembled with the power system, servos, and receiver installed. That includes four high-voltage digital and metal-geared Spektrum A179 and A180 mini servos. The two-piece horizontal stabilizer bolts into place, and the elevators and rudder install with captured pin hinges, so no glue is required for assembly and you be flying in less time than any other model in its class! The ARF version is ready to fly after typical final assembly, power system, and electronics installation.
