Foamboard F-22 EDF

Finished painting?

Done painting?

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

This.

Looks.

AMAZING!!

Seriously, I love how you've leaned into the "papercraft" style of polygon folds. It really works well for this angular aircraft. Actually, I would love to see you tackle the F-117, this style of build would be even MORE appropriate.

Maybe I missed it; what is powering this? Single or twin? 50 or 70mm?

Span? Length?

Thanks so much!! That's means so much coming from the jetman himself!!
Funny you mention the F-117

It's running on a single 50mm EDF. From the top of my head it's got around a 24 inch wingspan and is about 35 inches long.

This one was actually laser cut! It definitely helps the parts fit easier. But it's not impossible to do by hand cutting. For instance this first version of the F-22 was hand cut. As long as you go slowly it's possible to get laser precision

Since you lasered yours, are you going to make the DXF's available?
I really appreciate all of you that design and share this stuff. Thanks.

Why of course!

It’s magnificent- now let’s get someone to make this with BDFs.

 

[Ranger_107]

the worst part is, that even if you release the plans now, I won't get my EDF till late December

well you can start cutting and building now, you have servos, right??

I don't think a BDF will fit, unless you were to run two 3 inch sized BDF's to get enough power.

I have two 3" 1408 micro quad motors at the ready... just saying.

 

[flamingo]

why not after this you build a mini a 10

 

[Ranger_107]

that would look epic

 

[Ranger_107]

also @Grifflyer you should submit this the the ama magazine. they would for sure feature this in the build section of there magazine.

PLEASE do the plans soon!! I just saw this thread: I am shocked at the amazing looks of this edf! This is for sure gonna be my next scratch build if the plans come soon!
