I may build one as a pusher first, so if I do that, it’ll be v1. When I build the EDF version, it’ll be v2.

I hit save thinking it would save my work, like when you make a FT article but it just put it up for review, I even wrote "don't post this, but someone still did. I'll be making another one soon.

As promised this is my newest. 6 blade 55mm EDF. Ironed LE and TEs. Opened up area inside inlets more and replaced straight former mid wing with a “V” angled former to direct cleaner airflow and last I put in angled close outs in the nacelles to direct airflow to the fan. The airframe is basically otherwise stock in black DTFB, and the newer green DTFB

Could i use a 64mm with the original size plans as that is all i have and possibly for more speed/thrust. If not what scratch built 64mm EDFs are available? Thanks!

Don’t look to close😁 but from a distance it looks cool.

Yeah, slightly smaller sheet and VERY wavy surface, but same thickness and no different to use. It is only green on one side though. I ran the iron over the surface and evened it out a bit. Good luck.

If It's called "Bazics" it's the one, about $1.30 a sheet as opposed to the $1 stuff. Mine wasn't "wavy" though.

I thought since I posted the pick of the modified black and green version I would also post what I did to modify the inlets. The pictures show the same modification on a new 70mm version. The “v” former is basically a double wide version of the original straight one trimmed to fit the wing opening. The inlets are opened most of the way forward. And I put in angled close out pieces to direct all airflow to the fan. I hope all this will improve efficiency and make them a little faster.
For what it is worth that is a 6s capable 70mm fan, and I am putting on the racingwing tips.

I will as soon as I get time to fly. I currently have 2 L-39s, 1 Mini Guinea, 1 standard White Diamond, 1 200% White Diamond,
1 Arrow, 1 Speed Deamon, 1 Baby Bugatti, 1 Moni, plus this 70mm L-39. All to maiden next time I get to get out and fly.
The L-39s and White Diamonds are top of the list though.
