F-105 Thunderchief 70mm EDF

[Zephyr1]

So I made this back in April, because Chuppster suggested it. And he's done a great job of getting me to actually make some plans. I recently finished the plans for him, and decided I should share them with the rest of you. Maybe it'll hold Daniel over on the F-104 (I'll have those plans done soon lol). Anyway, here are the specs and a video! I also think I might've finally beat John Overstreet to a US jet design I'll admit the build is challenging, and as for the inlets, mine were not large enough and i had to include a cheater hole.

Length: 57.8 in
Wingspan: 31.5in
Motor: FMS 6 blade 70mm EDF
Battery: 2800-3200 mAh 4s or 6s

Flight Video!!

I AM GOING TO BUY A 70MM FAN FOR THIS!!!! Finally someone has made a foam version of the best looking jet ever made!

 

[JTarmstr]

Hey its a thud, I dont know how its the best jet ever made unless you like Hanoi but its pretty sleek looking. I am rather excited for this.

 

[jfaleo1]

That looks really great!

Some Thuds at FF! I made a too much smaller one so it’s got a 64mm. The big one is courtesy of @Chuppster!

That was so much fun!

Alright everyone, after significant redesign, I've created a much better set of plans and a somewhat different aircraft! Here's some pics! (should be another century series fighter inbound soon )

Is there anywhere I can find a cheap 4s 70mm edf for this? I mean around 20 bucks

@MooreRC - please fill us in on how it performs. Very curious on the amount of thrust this will produce.

On 3s (1300mah 45c ) I got around 860grams of thrust
I haven't tried 4s yet Hope to try it soon

 

[Zephyr1]

I use that motor for a couple of my planes. My MiG-21 used it and it performed well. I’m not sure on the thrust number though.

 

[noname4now]

I will build one with 50 mm edf.

I will build one with 50 mm edf.

I freaking love this idea, I started out making 50mm jets, I can't wait to see it!!

 

[Zephyr1]

Here’s some more pics! I finally painted it! It flies amazing too!

So did I!
I still have 2 30mm Edf's waiting to get into some airframe.
I guess I'll just scratch build a B2 out of balsa around these motors

Anyway the 105 is gonna be built!
