  • 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.

    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 🤪

      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

      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..

    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.

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

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

    • @Jays_rcgarage
      @Jays_rcgarage  Рік тому

      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 !

    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
