2 E-flite Eratix 3D 25e ARF Assembly Manual
Introduction
The E-flite Eratix 3D 25e ARF is a 3D-capable sport plane
designed to make the transition from sport models to more
challenging 3D aircraft a lot less demanding. Its large
wing area and light wing loading offer very forgiving flight
characteristics, especially in slow flight. It’s also compatible with
a range of motor and propeller sizes so you can fine tune the
power and performance to your skill level. Both the E-flite Power
25 and Power 32 brushless outrunner motors bolt to the firewall
without any modifications. Experienced 3D pilots will appreciate
the uniquely designed, machined aluminum 3D control arms
that can handle the rigors of high-torque mini servos and large
control throws. Sport aerobatics or stick-bending 3D, the Eratix
3D 25e is up for whatever you are.
Using the Manual
This manual is divided into sections to help make assembly
easier to understand, and to provide breaks between each
major section. In addition, check boxes have been placed next
to each step to keep track of each step completed. Steps with
a single circle (
) are performed once, while steps with two
circles (
 ) indicate that the step will require repeating, such
as for a right or left wing panel, two servos, etc.
Remember to take your time and follow the directions.
