[Flying fisho]

Gave an inkling of an E-flite Eratix maiden report in the flying this weekend thread, but I believe this dream plane deserves an expanded report. Set the throws to sports mode as per instructions and even so because of huge control surfaces was scared to maiden it. Gazz did the honours and needed very little trimming but flew a little tail heavy & too tame on the throws. Added a little lead to the nose and moved the pushrod to the outer hole of the servo arm for more throws. In the air again & what a show, knife edged in Gazz's hands again but more rudder throws needed. Flew vertically at less than full throttle, prop hung at 3/4 throttle & floated in slowly for a landing. My turn for a nervous flight with Gaz beside me as a security blanket, but the nerves soon disappeared when I learned just how easy this beauty performed. Rolls, loops & imelmans seemed to perform themselves & made me look better than I felt. Landed easy although a fair way down the strip. Turned around & gave the usual momentary 1/2 throttle to get it moving for taxiing & nearly took off again, havent had a plane this powerful before. Could not be happier with it.
