Era
If you aren't a 3D only kinda guy, the
Era may be your ticket. While it can do
most 3D maneuvers, it is extremely
easy to fly. This is a hard plane to
miss in the sky, or on the ground. Our
hopes for this plane were to look like a
30's era racer. Takeoff takes about
20' due to the low attack angle of the
plane, very cool to see a foamy race
through the yard. Simply throttle it up
and let it get to speed, elevator only
when starting your roll. The running
gear needs a fast motor, as a small
prop is required for ground clearance.
It is very happy running the DS 400ES
on an 8-9” prop with an 1000mAh GT.
I've tried a larger sized motors with
the same rpm range(1200kv), while still
fun, there were not any worthwhile
performance gains. Weight with a
GT850 and DS400 motor is about 12.6
oz
