review date: April 20, 2013
summary:
electric flying wing with unique wing geometry.
Receiver, two servos, BL motor and ESC are all factory installed.
strengths:
The tractor prop makes the launching safe and easy.
not so twitchy. easy to launch, easy to land.
the vertical fin is fixed with magnet. easy to store, easy to transport.
weaknesses:
the aileron control is a bit too sensitive, the roll stability is not so solid.
the painting/printing is peels off easily.
conclusions:
This airplane is not the same as delta wing nor swept-back flying wing.
Eraze is challenging, very very fun to fly. Looks great in the air.
tips:
I replaced the stock receiver with Spektrum AR6115E, the stock ESC connector with JST and installed Turnigy nano-tech 2S460mAh pack. I fly my Blade 130X, Eflite A5M6 Zero 300 and MiniFly with the same 2S460mAh pack. Great versatile pack.
For setting the factory recommended CG, I attached a small piece of lead sheet behind the motor mount.
I set the elevon slightly up, around 3mm at the root.
At the first flight, the aileron control was too snsitive for me. I reduced the aileron D/R to 80% and increased the EXP to 40%. I applied the elevon up-trim several clicks also.
