What jet would we want FT to make?

[Mr Man]

what's hard to control?

Accidentally quoted the wrong post.

Oh

 

[Mr Man]

I was thinking something a little smaller but with bigger EDF's.

The problem now being that it’s very hard to control.

This is the post I meant to quote.

 

[Mr Man]

Going smaller will make it harder to control.

Would a gyro help? I have a one I found on Amazon for $25 that works great if your receiver has a PPM output. although I am trying to get off the gyro because it limits me from have bomb drops, flaps ect.

Yes, in theory, but it would be better to design a plane that would not need a gyro.

Yeah, agreed. so bigger EDF's with more blades to make more thrust, also make it as aerodynamic as possible?

Definitely.

Wait, what plane are we talking about here?

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Well I am hoping for SR-71.....

 

[Houndpup Rc]

I think a person could make a pretty aerodynamic frame with that, and it's so cool!!!!

 

[Mr Man]

That’s the best one out there.

As my dad said "it doesn't even have to fly and its awesome!".

As my dad said "it doesn't even have to fly and its awesome!".

And it wouldn’t below 500mph!😅

 

[Piotrsko]

Hmmm. Havent flow faster than 100 yet, I see. Going fast is like having a small twitchy plane flying through a forest, except only it isn't

 

[Houndpup Rc]

I think turning down your rates and turning up your expo helps. Am I right on that? I wouldn't know for sure being that I still am on a gyro, I have flown NerdNic 800 series spitfire which will go 120MPH, but like I said that was on a gyro. If the jet goes that fast it will have to have a wooden or aluminum spar to keep the wing from breaking, I put a smaller spar then specified in the NN Spitfire and the wing folded up when straightening out from a really fast dive.😢

What power system?

 

[Houndpup Rc]

I had this 380 watt motor with a 1/16 basswood spar. I guess I should should have checked power first.....

What prop and battery?

I’m guessing 7x7 on 4s?
