edf

My motto is "To design and build things that don't exist." Lot's of pilots want to fly EDF jets but they don't have the acreage and runway necessary to takeoff and land that type of plane. Others say that you need certain skill's to handle it. My answer to that is with a certain planform...

Most of my 3D printed planes so far have either been very experimental (tailless planes, early modular designs), highly loaded (F-104, Gee Bee, MiG 15), or designed to be gentle flying and carry a lot of load (modular trainer/base plane). But now I want to build something that is...

This adapter is supposed to be used with this build thread in rcgroups: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?3570975-Afterburner-Step-by-Step-Instructions But has been modified for use with the FT 70mm EDFs

I haven't had too much time for building lately, so I've been doing a lot of designing instead. One the goals of my modular plane system was to be able to swap out the power systems on the jets for either a 64mm unit or a 70mm unit, but both the F-104 and modular jet trainer were too big and...

Since thrust vectoring(TV) has been re-introduced by Flite Test, I did this project together in it's past hayday. 12 years ago, the rage was TV nozzles and if you view it from a trig approach, you can always have a forward vector(called thrust) and a vertical component(called lift) and if...

Hiya guys. I recently got a 3d printer (Bambu A1 mini which is the very best printer you can buy) and put it to good use by printing an adapter to convert my brushless motor to an edf. Does anyone have plans for a Single edf foamboard plane? Anything would be greatly appreciated. I believe it's...

I'll preface this by saying I know very little about aircraft design or RC design. After I learn to fly EDF jets, I want to start a ridiculous custom-designed twin-EDF build. It'll probably be a few years down the road, so I'll have plenty of time to save money for it, but I still want to avoid...

Hi! I'm Brie. I'm new to the hobby, I built a foam FliteTest kit years ago when I was younger and haven't been involved since then. I plan to get an EDF trainer to learn to fly while I learn about plane design and work on a custom EDF jet.

Another weekend, another build. This time we wanted an A-10, but not a prop-driven version. There are a few other EDF mounting solutions that I found, but I didn't like the scale and some were overly complex. I designed my own mount on Fusion 360, printed it on my Bambu P1S out of PETG, and...

This is the release of my modular F-104. It is designed to be 3D printed in PLA or ABS (optional for some parts). It is a 6-channel design and flies on a 4s 4000 mAh battery up to 80 mph. This release contains full STLs, G-code, and an instruction manual detailing assembly. The supplied G-code...

Just wondering if anyone has the f 35 master series plans? Can anyone provide a link or post the plans online? The f 35 master series I'm talking about is in this link. https://www.flitetest.com/articles/our-f35-design. The YouTube video with the F-35 plans no longer exists. Considering this was...

Just as the title says, what is a good intermediate build level ft plane that will teach me about curved plane making?

After the last FT Viggen had a spectacular demise, I decided I wanted a different EDF sport jet similar to the FMS Viper. I like the Viggen’s simplicity, so I used it as the base model sized up 125%. I combined many of the Viggen’s parts and modeled the control surfaces after the FMS Viper...

Just gonna try and see if I can take telnar1236's MiG-21 project and get it up and running, I've been looking forever for a starting point because my scaling has been horrible. I think I could get their plane to fly by using the cooling ducts that the real plane uses and turning them into air...

Looking for another plane that doesn't exist, came upon this one I am going to attempt. I chose the name PHOTON because it looks to be fast. Did some initial testing and decided on a good set of cw/ccw 70mm EDF to handle the problems. Will shoot for not having a gyro, it all depends. Gee...

One of my next design projects are the 853-21 Quiet Bird. This a Paper model: Boeing Model 853-21 Quiet Bird in Test Lab The Quiet Bird was a version of the Boeing Model 853 which started out as an Army observation airplane study, this version of the 853 study was used to test materials and...

I dressed up Dark Star by putting on a pilot's window and stars on rudder and off I went to the soccer field. Field is about 450 x450 and extra 100 ft added in parking lot. Video shows takeoff(about 30`) and climbs over guard rail (trim is perfect) and climbs nicely hands off. Notice the...

I was browsing the list of Freewing planes on Motionrc and the lippisch caught my eye. I decided to make my first design based on this plane and it flies great. It uses a 50 mm edf but i feel that the plane could be easily scaled down a bit and still fit the fan. It could also be scaled up...

Hi guys first time posting, I intend to use 3x128mm EDF for a drone. The motors to output the thrust i require is 18s Lipo, Im currently struggling to find a flight controller that can handle that power. Im currently reading up how to design a PCB board that can handle that power for a custom...

Hello! i am a novice pilot but i want to fly edfs as a second plane.(my first plane is the simple scout) I'm thinking of the ft Viggen or a random depron edf parkjet. any suggestions or tips? I don't know if i should fly edfs because i have only been flying slow planes. Thanks
