Saw John and this amazing creation at FF2019. I stopped to admire it and you were so kind as to share lots of info with me on the build process. Then you said “want to see it fly?” Yes please! Flew wonderful as well! Thanks for sharing this story with the community! I’m in Wentzville just down 70 from you. Howdy neighbor!

Here are some shots from FF 2019 of the F14 and the P47 in action!

Your designs and build process are amazing! I can't wait until this becomes a released FT speed build kit. Will you please take my money already?!?!?!?! I do have a couple of questions about your power system. How many blades are in your 70mm EDF unit and how many cells are you using for your battery and C rating?

I'm running 12 blade 70s. I believe the batteries are 4s 5000s with 50c

Wow, I made a Mig-29 that uses 2x70mm 5 blade EDFs. Combined they draw 112 Amps (based on my Amp meter). I'm wondering what kind of amperage draw you're experiencing with those 12 blades? I'm guessing you built a Y-harness from your battery to your 2 ESCs. How many amps are your ESCs rated, 80amps each? Are you running a separate BEC?

I hope they haven't forgotten about this! Hopefully it will be a speedbuild kit soon...please?

Whats the probability this could fly using Bens ducted fan design and flying with quad motors

Today I was able to get the ailerons cut and finalized a quick change system for EDF/Thrust tube. This will be kind of a boring update unless you're intrested in the inner workings of stuff😁😁

I also added servos everywhere. I am really trying to keep them hidden. View attachment 116064 View attachment 116066 View attachment 116067 View attachment 116068 View attachment 116069 View attachment 116070

Amazing plane! Is there a chance it will be in an FT kit with an EDF power pack?

This hopefully will eventually will be a FT release. At the rate they are releasing planes now, it'll be a couple years tho. @Splinter189 designs planes for FT, so he can't just share plans with the public.

If you want to fly a Tomcat in the meantime, @Chuppster made one and has free plans on this thread: https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/the-scratch-built-twin-edf-ch-f14.53876/
I might print out his plans and try to get it flying with EDFs. I need to get two identical EDFs though...

It flew alright but it's quite crude. I'm calling the project "no longer supported", as I don't have time for it right now, but you are most welcome to make something of it!
