F-5 twin 50mm EDF

[usaserres]

It's not for sale yet. I designed the duct/housing myself, and Flite Test is working on making them into a Power Pack option, especially for their upcoming jets designed by Overstreet and me. The files are not online either yet, but they will be in time.

Okay. Thanks. I might just try your same sleeve concept but with either two 70mm or 80mm EDFs inside.

Normally I start a build thread when I start building the plane, but this one sprang to life in a rather odd and quick fashion, so right off the bat you've got a maiden video:

Thanks to Nate for the inspiration to do this build in the first place, it's all his fault. I WILL be posting plans, but please be patient, they still need tweaking. I'll put 'em up with they're ready!

Meanwhile, enjoy some of the rough build photos and a few more videos showing it off:

is the size close to the ft mini mustang?

[QUOTE = "Mid7night, post: 345041, üye: 13093"] Normalde uçağı inşa etmeye başladığımda bir yapım iş parçacığı başlatırım, ancak bu oldukça tuhaf ve hızlı bir şekilde canlandı, bu yüzden yarasadan hemen sonra bir bakire videosu var:

İlk etapta bu yapıyı yapmak için ilham aldığı için Nate'e teşekkürler, hepsi onun hatası. Planlar göndereceğim, ancak lütfen sabırlı olun, yine de ince ayarlara ihtiyaçları var. Onları koyacağım, hazırlar!

Bu arada, bazı kaba fotoğrafların ve bunları gösteren birkaç videonun daha keyfini çıkarın:

[TheDeathlyBro]

Here is my F-5 ready to fly.

Wingspan: 37" - 940mm
Length: 54" - 1370mm
Weight: 2 pounds 8oz - 1200gr
EDF: Two 64mm 6 blade fans
Battery: 2800mah 4S

That looks awesome! Are you using a 3d printed canopy for it?

 

[TheDeathlyBro]

@Mid7night I created a nozzle for the rear of the jet that should be glueable to the back if you would like to try it out!

If anyone tries it out, please let me know how it flies and looks!

Question to mid7night or anyone who knows, what are those vents on the ESC’s in Ben’s original build pics? I’m looking to get together a purchase of EDF’s and ESC’s for this, so far looking at the FMS 50mm 11 blade 2627 KV4500 motors and 50amp ESC’s. I didn’t see any with the vent that Ben’s had, is that a custom 3d print or something? Also, is there a trick to making the thrust tubes the correct intake and exhaust diameters?

If you're referring to the reddish colored part around the ESC, it is thick heat shrink tubing with a square cut-out above the ESC heat sink for air flow.

I see, I thought it was a separate part from the ESC meant to direct airflow, I didn’t realize it was the heat sink on the ESC itself. Thanks AirForge!
