After crashing many EDFs and Warbirds, I picked this up as a warm up/trainer plane no gyro at all. Nothing but success every time. Like you said, it's so slow, you have time to catch any errors you may make. Just fly comfortably high to not smash the ground. I talked about this plane for so long, if I have flown this plane early in my hobby career would have saved the lives of many other planes. Thanks for the upload and the glue tip.
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.
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!
@@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 !
It's best to set up 3 different rates for 3D flying. 100%, 80%, and 60% to help keep the different maneuvers clean. Lots of Expo is your friend. Even Jase Dussia uses lots of expo. There are RC communists who will tell you that expo, rates, and gyros are for beginners but you watch them fly and it looks like they had too much coffee and a crackhead sandwich. a guy named Toolbagger that comments everywhere is one of those Nazis. Though I think he is a professional NYC Flying Rat watcher. Lol.
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 !
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 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
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..
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.

Nice attitude. Showing the crashs and repairs is valuable experience feedback.
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.
Nice flight and plane. Love to have one .
It’s definitely fun!! Pick one up!
The “alright are we done”.. “nope” kills me 😂😂😂

What a great video! And I love that plane! You can fly me to the Bahamas now!
Great as always
Thank you !
Nice video with great filming quality and thanks for sharing how the hinge was fixed.
How much expo you have with the 100% rates ?
Thanks for watching 😎 Manual calls for 30% on high rates… I believe I have mine at 20%
I’m at 37% on all on 100% rates flys much smoother than 30%
Best 4 channel rtf and cheapest Rc plane
Rut it on a small 4s pack. She comes alive !
Was that Bayshore Hobby shop?
I've wanted this plane since E-flite released it, just gotta save my penniezz
You can fly mine 👏🏼
I found that the Foam 2 Foam glue is too brittle/hard for hinges once it is cured.

Also, I subbed sir!
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 😎
What is a good second plane? ive been needing to find one, and im going to a hobby shop soon..
What was your first plane ?
@@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 okay! I’ll probably either get a jet, timber, or commander!
@@itsme_luke all good choices. Commander is a good plane too!! Flew one and loved it
Anybody by any chance know what motor it is?

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

$480 were im from

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
