edf

Hey there everyone! I finally got a FT Forums account and I thought I'd start it off with some pictures of the Afterburner I'm currently working on. It features some quite substantial improvements over David's design and is almost flight ready.

Nose and canopy needs some work

Progress update on the cad-model

I have an Eflite Habu 2 that I picked up about a year ago and it's been collecting dust since then. The plane is in excellent condition with some minor cosmetic issues. I'll have some pictures of it posted tonight for those who are interested. Price is at $140 plus shipping but I am also...

This is an incredibly difficult design to make into an RC version. As such, I made a 50mm EDF version first. To test weight and balance and stability. I then moved on and built a 70mm EDF version to make it full scale. Testing the 70mm version didn't go so incredibly well. As such I will be...

I'm not new to scratch building, and I've had in interest in edfs ever since I saw a model jet. I've also had an interest in the Robotech planes after watching the many series. So I decided to build one, and I chose the VF-4,one of the most feasible looking planes from the show...

Its been a looong time, but here we go again! In the past, I experimented a little with super tiny EDF units, with very limited success. The planes were too small and issues with thrust tube and motor cutoff due to ESC overheating made me stop working with EDFs for a long time. But now I wanted...

I'm currently moving from my duty station here in Korea back the the U.S. so I'm not in a position to throw a prototype together but I figured I'd share my idea with the community and see what comes of it. So here goes... Star Wars, A-Wing. Yes I've looked at it, no it really doesn't have any...

Hello, I am working on a 1/19 scale Boeing 757-222. I am Using 2 "FMS 80mm 12 Blades Ducted Fan EDF With 3270 KV2000 6S Inrunner Brushless Motor" And the engine diameter is 12cm. So Of course there's going to be a gap in between the outer shell of the engine and the edf. And I Notice Ramy RC Had...

So I made this back in April, because Chuppster suggested it. And he's done a great job of getting me to actually make some plans. I recently finished the plans for him, and decided I should share them with the rest of you. Maybe it'll hold Daniel over on the F-104 (I'll have those plans done...

Here is my next project: the Messerschmitt P.1092! This WWII fantasy aircraft was designed during the war as some sort of single engine Me 262. There are five different designs of this plane, I am going to make a combination of number 2 and 5. I really like the engine placement, it looks unique...

Very few fighter jets have managed to create the nearly cult following of the F-104 Starfighter. This manned missile was notoriously hard to fly and control. As such, creating an RC DTFB version was incredibly hard. And truly, I don't quite yet have a 100% working version. I've built 3 variants...

Failure Equals Success Seven years ago this project was a result of using an EDF with a VTOL concept which failed and an offshoot that gave me a new STOL project that is really different and also a first. I also submitted this project to FT and I hope it get published where I explain more in...
