Ohhh....watching closely. X-29 fascinates me with the forward swept wings and futuristic looks.

I have a 70mm 12blade EDF on its way for this..... running it on 6S so I'm hoping for some super performance xxxx

Oh My!

Oh you'll love the X-29! Andres did a great job, and mine was quite fast enough even on a 4S 70mm....you'll be screamin' on 6S! Just make sure you triple-check the CG, and don't be afraid to go a hair nose-heavy. When balanced right, it's a VERY stable jet.

The FMS EDF has a spec of 2.25kg of thrust on 6S .... Rubs hands with glee!!!!

@CarolineTyler seems like you are going to leave me dust with this build, hope I can give you are good fight back .

I have my eye on one of those units. Planning on getting this as a personal birthday or Xmas present to myself😂. Hoping to be able to start building and flying different jets for next summer.
The build will not be a problem. The ability to keep it in the air and land in one piece I am lacking.
Looking forward to see what you can make this set up do.

Looking at my delivery status...that awesome EDF should be arriving today 👍😊

 

[Tonero311]

Hoping for a hobbyking delivery today myself. Nothing in it nearly as exciting as your edf though.

 

[CarolineTyler]

Delivery !!!!
Even on 4S I'm struggling to hold this at full power! 393 watts 29 Amps on a half charged 4S.

And that's where we are stopping this evening... I stuck the saddle piece pointing the wrong direction ☹️☹️☹️
Tomorrow I will print out the plans for a replacement section and cut one by hand.
Was going so well too! Oh well, these things are sent to try us!!!
