I fell in love with this plane the very first time I saw it at my flying flied. Although I have an EFXtra (new one) I bought this one to have as a replacement. Same top quality as other Durafly models.

this thing is awesome. doesn't matter 3S or 4S it flies on rails. only catch is the launch, full throttle with a good toss or bungee if u can. can't wait to put in the bigger motor from the EFXtra! if you have a rough field i high recommend skids, if not the motor will eat a ton of dirt on landing. im in AZ so we are all dirt, without skids this plane would not last long.

Great little toy this one. Lots of fun and excellent value for $. It's definately not a beginner plane. The big wing span makes it easy to see from afar.. much easier than my delta wing. Have not tried 4s yet but don't think I will this thing is crazy enough on 3s.... very agile. Downsides: cannot get spare parts in AUS (or anywhere really - only the kit), and not much room in fuselagae for different size batteries. Easy under arm throw for launch. No torque roll on 3s... smooth. 4min run time on 2200 55c 3s.

For my opinion is one the most funny planes i ever flown.
It rolls on rails and has a really fast unlimited vertical, looks absolutely fantastic and landings are easy as much as with a glider, it really floats also at low speed.
There are some defects too, the canopy is easy to loose, i recommend to get some spares or fit there some bigger magnet.
Its not a defect but this plane its not that fast as it looks also on 4S when stock, I wouldnt be surprised if Durafly would soon update the motor to a 3000kv, that is the motor that this amazing plane deserve to be fast as it should.
I use 2200mah 50C batteries which require to remove some material inside the canopy but it worth the job, added just 15 grams in front with it and gained almost 3 min from the 1800mah (7 mins on 4S 2200). Before to replace motor and esc i will try some other props but i think that wont change that much.
I anyway love this beautiful plane, is always in my car with a couple of batteries fully balanced ;)

Fantastic, excellent, amazing, great, fun, and exciting all in one package. The EFX has been my favorite as soon as I got it, for the price you get a lot of air plane. Plenty fast on 3s and a real screamer on 4s, with ample power to do just about any aerobatic trick you can think of. The foam is VERY tough way tougher than much more expensive planes, and it shows while performing high G maneuvers. Not only can the EFX be a performance plane but it has slow speed tendencies that rival that of a glider, you can cut power and easily glide a football field no problem and I'm sure it will go further if I had the space. I really can't think of anything negative to say about it, it has been a blast since day one. It has plenty of power to lug a camera around here, check it out with my turnigy action cam mounted on top.

The EFX balances to the 55mm mark with an 1800MA 4 cell and a 2200MA 3 cell. A slightly puffed 2200MA 4 cell does fit also.
Have only flown it with the three cell setup and the performance on a radar gun is 84 MPH. It flies so steady and smooth it is my new favorite plane. The glide slope to land it very long, slow speed passes are very smooth also.

I really like this plane. Quick to build. It zipps around great on 3 or 4 cell 2200mah. I have mine a little nose heavy so it climbs a bit at full throttle. Lots of fun, flies well at slower speeds also. No complaints here.

If anyone has not got one of these please buy it. It's really fun to fly and landing is a peace of cake just rember that when you hand launch throw its up hard a slightly right wing down( right handed launch) I'm making a launch trolley for mine.
