Aero L-39 Albatros V2 - EDF Jet

[Kilo Kilo]

I've also got a 70mm EDF that needs an airframe.

I should have the plans ready to go very soon.

Hi Grifflyer,

Thank you very much for the Plan.
I just start to work on it and find out that the plan are raster images at the moment. Not vector lines.
Could you re-save the plan in vector format, please?
That would be much easier for me.

Please check your inbox

Thank you very much!!! So kind of you to do it. It works perfectly!

WOW!!!! For 70mm EDF! Waiting for this one.

Yep!!
By ready to go, I mean ready for other people to test, @Zephyr1's prototype hasn't flown yet, he experienced not having enough power and thinks the EDF needs more air.

I am checking the plan. the EDF hole is 53mm, perfect for the EDF itself, but it looks no more room for the intake ring.
Without it, you will lose a lot of power, roughly 30%.

Wow I never knew that, the 50mm L-39 flies just fine without it, but adding more power with hardly any weight is always a good thing.
I'm gonna change the fuse a bit to accommodate the ring, I've already got an idea in my head to do so.

Thanks for bringing this up!!

Glad to be of help

Yes, your L39 flies great, as the fuselage just fit the EDF, very efficient. But put on the inlet ring should dig out all the potential and make it a blast!

All EDF plane need lips for fluent air flow. Some of the EDF plane (especially small scale one) make the lip on the fuselage, so they don't need the ring (to save inside room). But most of them just keep the EDF inlet ring.

Busy building, do you have any idea when you will release this ?

Well I hope it is after his homework for school is finished......Aaaand now I feel old....

As a side note @Grifflyer Wichita State University here in Wichita, KS has a great aircraft engineer program. I am pretty sure you could be a great one. This V2 design is really well executed. I do agree on the inlet ring though. I was looking at a way to modify it myself, but let's see where the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) goes with it.

Tonight or tomorrow!!

 

[Loeikie]

Tonight or tomorrow!!

Awesome !!! Thank you very much !!!

 

[Grifflyer]

Alright I've got the part all designed. I just tested it out with a slice of the fuse with an extra EDF I had lying around, and it fits with the ring.

I hope to have the revised plans out tonight!!...but I might not finish them until tomorrow.

 

[Grifflyer]

Alright updated the first post with the new plans!!

I am really keen to make a 70mm jet as I have a spare edf unit laying around. Where can I find the new plans for the 70mm version as I am abit confused of where to find it?

As of right now there aren't any official 70mm plans. Only plans for those who want to test the plane as a beta builder.

If you would like to help out, I can send the beta plans to you as well.

Yes, I would love to help out as a beta builder. I would appreciate it if you could send me the plans.

Cheers
