Current Project

I have been thinking about getting a small to medium size EDF jet - I am not much of an "electric guy" and do not have much experience with electric aircraft, especially EDF's, so this is going to be a new one for me. Hopefully my learning curve will not include maiden flight disaster....

This small EDF is suppose to be able to reach speeds of over 90mph, and after I am comfortable flying it, I just might get a bigger motor and battery to see how fast I can get it to go... But for now, I will use provided motor and use recommended battery... I am sure that giving small size, even at 90mph it will feel like its moving twice as fast and it will easily get out of sight....

As I mentioned above I am going to use stock motor and the recommended battery for the initial set up. To save money I am going to use Hitec HS-55 mini servos instead of Futaba. I have a spare FASST 8 channel receiver, so for now it will find a new home in the F-16. I am using Great Planes Silver series 35A ESC, and for batteries I am going to use 2200mAh, 30C lipo packs....
