So I decided to go a different route with my 140% scale FT Commuter Build. I swapped out the Prop for a 50mm EDF. The build was fairly simple after I figured out the location where the EDF was going to be mounted. I made it a taildragger due to a front mounted (steerable) wheel would have blocked off a large portion of the intake to the EDF. Specs are below. Enjoy the video.

Build: 140% scale FT Commuter
Weight: w/battery 709 grams
EDF: 50mm Powerfun
Battery: Venom 4s 2200mah
ESC: 60A Brushless / 4AUBEC XT60 Connectors
