You know that feeling, you're waiting for a plethora of bad weather to go away, a model that you have ordered back at the beginning of February to turn up at your door (currently stuck in customs I'm informed) and you see a design that just seems to cry out to be built.
This is a 64mm EDF F117 designed by Matagami Designs and from their maiden video flies real nice.
Anyway....enough chit-chat, lets's get this moving!
64mm 4S EDF ordered - It has 11 blades so should have a nice whoosh.
50A ESC ordered - the max draw of the EDF on the spec sheet is 52A static so that should be just peachy.
Plans printed
Plans glued together
Components cut out
Grabbed the only 4 Flitetest foamboards I have in the house and with some tetris skills - laid them all out
Next stage I do is to use mounting spray adhesive and gently stick the paper to the foamboard. I treat my plans as disposable as I can always print more and I feel that it's more exact since I'm not adding another level of copy/tracing that would be needed if I want to reuse the plans as templates.
