A sleep deprived idea came into my head when thinking about an active cooling system for a friend's Mikado, the result was scary, and I may have stumbled into the gateway for EDFs. These 1806 motors used to have an overheat problem when using 6045 bullnoses, but the 5040 3 bladed props kept it perfectly cool, however, when I made this shroud, the amount of thrust it produced increased immensely for the amount of throttle commanded, sounded a lot meaner and louder too. Motor got hot and the ESC got hot too, very interesting results to someone with no experience in EDFs, planning a build that uses smaller props, and a smaller cowl. Now may the whole community make me repent for my sacrilege.
