Flying Your Eratix 3D 25e
Flying the Eratix 3D 25e is about as fun as it can get at the
field. A very light wing loading and extreme control throws
make for some exciting 3D flying. Verify that your CG is at the
correct location as per the manual and that you have your rates
set up to your liking. Verify all control throws are in the correct
direction and the motor spins in the correct direction as well.
Point the model into the wind and add some throttle trim until
the motor begins to turn. This will be your flight idle. Now,
apply power slowly. You will find the model will become
airborne very quickly and at a low speed. This model excels
at flying slow and easy as well as fast and extreme. Trim the
model for level flight at half throttle. Only use full throttle for
maneuvering. It is not recommended to fly this model fast or
at full throttle in level flight. Doing this can result in the flight
controls fluttering and a potential catastrophic failure of the
airframe.
You will find you can adjust the CG to your liking by moving the
battery pack fore or aft on the fuselage. Also keep the battery
on the fuselage mounted high (at least at wing centerline or
above) to help in hovering maneuvers and harriers.
To land the Eratix 3D 25e just reduce the throttle to idle and
feed in up elevator until the model settles into a slightly nose
high attitude. Gently fly the model down to the landing spot
with a final flair at touchdown. You will find the model will have
a very short roll out. We hope you enjoy the Eratix 3D 25e as
much as we do.
Happy landings.
