Foamboard F-22 EDF

[Grifflyer]

Introducing the 50mm EDF F-22! This is a single engine, easy to build, fun to fly EDF jet. It's not the biggest or fastest F-22 out there, but it certainly is fun!! It runs on a single EDF to simplify things and only uses two 9g servos for bank and yank control. It has a wide flight envelope ranging from low and slow to high speed craziness!

Finally! Looking good! You gonna paint it?

Finally! Looking good!, You gonna paint it?

Absolutely! Going for a tiger scheme!

 

[Timmy]

Can you take a picture looking into an air intake?

 

[Flyingshark]

Going for a tiger scheme!

Oh, something like this? (Please don't notice that it's a Rafale M, not an F-22)

I will be posting plans, and a video of this airplane in the near future!

Buddy you've outdone yourself.
(And by now we'll be expecting every new plane to make the previous ones look bad.)

That's pretty awesome! I'm currently thinking something like the orange and black tiger looking scheme in this image.

Haha thank you!! It's hard to make a plane look worse than the previous one because I learn something new each time 😂

How do you stop the ESC from getting sucked in?

Absolutly beautiful job!! I can't wait to build one - I have a 50mm waiting for it.

Just crashed my L-39 a few days ago. Perfect timing. I’m making one of these!

@Timmy , I've used servo tape to mount steering servo's in my 1/10th (3.5 lbs), and 1/8th (8 lbs) 4wd off road cars since the '80's. You can easily pick up the car by the servo, and yank it around without issue. One of them has been in the car for about 12 years, and it's still solidly mounted. Good stuff!

What happened to your L-39 plans that where in the resource section?

 

[AIRFORGE]

@Grifflyer , this F-22 looks amazing!

Awe that's too bad, I'm glad you have a replacement though!

You know, I don't remember the story behind that, it's a good time to write another one. I think I was redoing the plans so I took it down and forgot to put it back up. I can't remember...
