E-flite  Eratix Pilot Holding Plane

Take your 3D flying to the next level with the E-flite Eratix 3D SWS 1.6m (64") — the big brother of the hugely popular Eratix 3D FF 860mm flat foamy. Part of E-flite's Sport Wood Series, the Eratix pairs the lively, precise handling that made the original a favourite with the light weight and rigidity only built-up wood construction can deliver — crisper snaps, steadier harriers and locked-in hovers with none of the airframe flex..

E-flite E-flite Eratix 3D SWS 1.6m (64") with AS3X and SAFE Select Overview

This BNF version is a first for a built-up model in this class: it bolts together in a fraction of the time of comparable kits, with the complete Spektrum power and control system factory-installed. The Avian 5055 500Kv brushless motor and Avian 100A ESC run on 6S LiPo power, four Spektrum high-voltage servos handle the control surfaces, and the AR637TA+ receiver brings AS3X stabilisation for a locked-in feel in wind, plus optional SAFE Select envelope protection while you're learning new manoeuvres. Bind it to your Spektrum transmitter, add your 6S pack, and you're ready to Fly out of the Box.

Skill Level 2 – Some Experience Required

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”).

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.

Wood Frame

Wood Airframe

The built-up balsa and lite-ply airframe with carbon fiber 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.

Smart Transmitter File

Smart Transmitter File

This BNF aircraft is equipped with a receiver that is loaded with a Smart Transmitter File (STF) that makes programming your transmitter as easy as a few clicks of a button. When you bind your transmitter to an STF-equipped aircraft, all programming parameters download automatically from the receiver. Switch assignments, rates, expo, telemetry, and voice callouts configure themselves. No lengthy step-by-step instructions. No continual adjustments. Just push-button convenience that gets you flying faster.

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.

Spektrum Avain Motor 5055

Flexible Power

The factory-installed Spektrum™ Avian™ brushless outrunner motor 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.

Bind-N-Fly

Bind-N-Fly® Completion Level Advantage

Already own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly® (BNF®) aircraft make getting into the air quickly and with the best control experience possible easier than ever. They come out of the box with the power system, servos, and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed, so all you need to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, finish any final assembly, and fly!

Smart Technology

Smart Technology

The Eratix 3D SWS is equipped with an exclusive Spektrum Avian Smart ESC that provides a variety of real-time power system-related telemetry data including overall battery voltage and more – with both Smart and non-Smart batteries – via compatible receivers (including the AR637TA+ installed in the BNF Basic version) and Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6 to 20, iX12 to 20 and others) while you fly. Plus, optional-use motor/thrust reversing can help shorten rollout after landing and offers other special ground handling capabilities (5–6+ channel transmitter required for reversing).

Exclusive Technologies

Exclusive Technologies

The BNF Basic version of the Eratix 3D SWS is equipped with exclusive Spektrum AS3X+ and SAFE Select technologies. Enhanced AS3X+ technology works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence and deliver an even more locked-in feel than standard AS3X, which makes it seem like you're flying an even larger airplane. It’s also been specifically tuned for 3D/XA (eXtreme Aerobatic) performance without compromising feel. Optional-use SAFE Select offers pitch and bank angle limits and automatic self-leveling that can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch! If you don't want to enable the SAFE Select features, simply bind the receiver normally, and only AS3X+ will be active. The receiver is also loaded with a Smart Transmitter File (STF) that allows you to import all the settings for NX and iX series transmitters during the binding process to be ready to fly in less time than ever!
