Advanced Aircraft with Aerobatic & Sport Flying Performance
The E-flite® Eratix 3D SWS 1.6m BNF Basic Electric Airplane combines aerobatic capability with the strength and precision of wood construction. Designed for intermediate to experienced pilots, the Eratix 3D Sport Wood Series (SWS) delivers 3D and sport performance without the long build times of traditional models. With advanced electronics, exclusive stabilization technologies, and a durable airframe, this aircraft offers an unmatched flying experience that balances performance and convenience.
About the Eratix 3D SWS Airplane
Powerful Electronics
The Eratix 3D SWS comes factory-equipped with a Spektrum™ Avian 5055-500kV brushless outrunner motor and a 100-amp Avian Smart ESC, delivering outstanding power on 6S batteries. This system provides real-time telemetry data including battery voltage, current draw, and ESC temperature when used with compatible transmitters. Four high-voltage, metal-geared digital Spektrum servos ensure precise control, while optional-use thrust reversing adds advanced ground handling and landing capabilities.
Advanced Technologies
Exclusive Spektrum AS3X+® and SAFE® Select technologies are integrated into the AR637TA+ receiver, offering pilots a superior and customizable flying experience. AS3X+ has been tuned specifically for 3D and extreme aerobatic flight, giving the airplane a smooth, locked-in feel even in windy conditions. Optional SAFE Select provides self-leveling and flight envelope protection for added confidence during takeoff, flight, and landing. Together, these technologies help balance stability and control without limiting aerobatic potential.
Durable Airframe & Smart Design
Constructed from lightweight balsa and plywood with carbon fiber reinforcement, the Eratix 3D SWS airframe is both strong and durable. It arrives factory-finished in genuine UltraCote® film covering, minimizing setup time while delivering a professional look. The two-piece wing installs quickly without tools, making storage and transport easier. Additional features such as optional-use Side Force Generators (SFGs), carbon fiber landing gear, and a large top-mounted canopy hatch add convenience and performance enhancements.
