Hiya,
I’m looking to build a giant F14 in the style of the A10 from FT, though around 6-7ft long, not 10! I’ve had a rummage around the internet for EDF power plants but in my ignorance I had no idea how expensive they are! I basically wanna know if this would work.
I expect the flying weight to be 3kg and I would use power pack C (used in the first A10 video) with increasing pitched props through the duct for better efficiency. But I am thinking of adding a third motor into the duct to add extra power. Along with this i would do more with the ducting such as decreasing the size of the duct (Bernoulli’s principle). So using a similar concept to the first A10 video would the F14 have sufficient power to do high speed flying, not just about staying in the air like the A10 in the first video.
I am planning to use a 4S 35C 5000mAh
Thanks for any advice
