HAND LAUNCH

It is a good idea to have a helper hand launch the Eraze for

the ﬁ rst few ﬂ ights until you are comfortable with its ﬂ ying

characteristics.

Hold the airplane by the ﬁ nger grips just in front of the servos.

Point the plane directly into the wind and at a slight upward

angle of 15° to 20° with the wings level with the horizon. Apply

full throttle and toss the plane into the wind, taking care to

launch it straight without any rotation. The Eraze does not

require an aggressive launch to achieve ﬂ ying speed. A hand

launch similar to the effort applied when throwing a dart is all

that is needed. Immediately following the plane’s launch, apply

a little up elevon to gain altitude and be prepared to make any

corrections with the elevons. Once you are at a comfortable

altitude, throttle back to a comfortable speed, make your ﬁ rst

turn and begin to trim the model for straight and level ﬂ ight.

FLIGHT

The Eraze is an energetic plane and the controls are very

responsive. Be prepared for this during your ﬁ rst few ﬂ ights by

maintaining altitude and get a feel for the roll rate and the way in

which the Eraze handles. Throttle back at altitude to 3/4 throttle

during your ﬁ rst ﬂ ight to get the model trimmed out. When you

are familiar with the Eraze, you will discover it can perform

loops, rolls, inverted ﬂ ight and a variety of aerobatics that do not

require rudder. Expect ﬂ ight times of approximately 10 minutes

(with throttle management) when using the recommended

battery. Allow yourself excess time to prepare for your landing

approach. When it’s time to land, make your ﬁ nal pass with the

wind, slow the model and make a wide banking turn into the

wind approaching your landing spot. Maintain approximately

1/4 throttle and allow the plane to descend, being sure to keep

the plane at a level attitude. When the plane is about one foot

off the deck, apply some up elevator to ﬂ are the model and cut

the throttle. If the motor begins to noticeably lose power, the

battery is near depleted and soon will no longer be adequately

able to power the motor. The Eraze can still be controlled after

this point. As soon as you detect power being reduced, turn

into the wind as soon as possible and land the plane. Failing

to do so may result in you landing "dead stick" (completely

without power) and your model may suffer damage from an

uncontrolled landing. We strongly encourage you to use a ﬂ ight

timer set for 9 minutes (safe ﬂ ying time with a fully charged

battery) and allow yourself enough time to make your landing

approach before the timer goes off.

REPAIRS

Repairs to your Eraze can be made quickly and easily using

regular CA glue (not foam-safe CA). Apply a small amount

of glue into the joint that is being repaired. Excess glue will

squeeze out of the joint and onto the surface of the plane so

use the glue sparingly. Hold the joint together and apply a

light mist of CA accelerator to the glue line.
