Had today off & headed off to Hobs in the Hills to get a replacement Trojan wing and started talking to Sean. Next thing you know I have an E-Flite Eratix 3D 25e in the back of my car. http://www.e-fliterc.com/Products/Defaul...ID=EFL4075 . Have been assured that with toned down rates it will land slow, fly slow or fast & sedately & adjustable as ability increases. Box promotes suitable for intermediate pilots. Also as a balsa model will be less affected by the wind than a foamy. I am also interested in progressing to 3D flight.
Came ARF, so need a suitable setup. Lower performance setup recommends 25 power 870kv motor with a 60A speedie, 4200mAh 3S battery & 14 x 7 prop. I already have a Turnigy G-25 710kv motor at home that will fit but want to make sure I have sufficient thrust. Presume that means more power less RPM using what I have. Should I increase to 4s or increase prop pitch, or buy new motor. Suggestions please guys including HK servo's.
