E-flite® Eratix 3D SWS (Sport Wood Series) 1.6m (64") – ARF

The E-flite® Eratix 3D SWS 1.6m (64") takes everything pilots loved about the smaller Eratix 3D FF (Flat Foamy) and scales it up into a premium wood-built, fully 3D-capable model. With its lightweight, stiff, and strong balsa/plywood construction reinforced with carbon fiber, this aircraft offers both aggressive aerobatic capabilities and smooth sport flying performance—all without the hassles of traditional kit building.

Unlike many other models in its class, the Eratix 3D SWS comes factory-finished in genuine UltraCote™ film covering and designed for quick, glue-free assembly, meaning you’ll spend less time building and more time flying. A two-piece wing with padded roots installs without tools or fasteners, making storage and transport effortless, while the large top-mounted canopy hatch ensures quick and easy access to your battery compartment.

For pilots who want even more aerobatic authority, the included Side Force Generators (SFGs) can be installed in minutes. Add to that carbon fiber landing gear with optional-use wheel pants, pin-hinged control surfaces, and even a painted pilot figure option (sold separately), and you’ve got a model that combines strength, style, and extreme capability.

At Aerobertics, we love the Eratix 3D SWS because it truly bridges the gap between everyday sport flying and full-blown 3D aerobatics. Whether you’re pushing your skills to the next level or just looking for a reliable wood-built model that stands out, this aircraft delivers convenience, durability, and top-class performance.

Wood Airframe

The built-up balsa and lite-ply airframe with carbon fiber reinforcement throughout is lightweight yet stiff and strong to provide a unique and enhanced flying experience compared to foam models. Best of all it arrives mostly factory-assembled and finished in genuine UltraCote® film covering. In the unfortunate event you damage any airframe parts or components and can’t repair them, a full line of replacement/spare parts is readily available.

Wide Flight Envelope

Like other similar class models, the Eratix 3D SWS is capable of slow cruising, smooth sport flying, basic aerobatics, and even aggressive 3D flying – all in the same flight! It offers a truly “mild to wild” flight experience that intermediate to experienced pilots will appreciate and enjoy.
