Since I need to wait till the end of the month to order the 6S battery, I doubt it will be me. In that order will be the motor for the spitWho will be first in the air!?

very nice love it. its nice to have some one to compete like both of you are doing makes it more fun. i would suggest that if you can some how if you get the chance to secure that esc if it comes loose and that edf has the same power as mine its going to get messy. if you can secure the wires of the esc so that the esc dont move back towards the fan blades in case it comes loose and ends up in the edf. just as a precaution . have fun

Doing a vertical thrust test will it lift itself on 4S ?

As a bonus you can vacuum the floors!
(when bench testing the SR, it "ate" a small plastic bag... interesting sound EDFs make when ingesting ziplock bags!)

Yes it will

I don't have two suitable batteries to parallel up sadly.Also depending what you have for space for batteries you could make a harness and use 2 3S batteries inline with each other to get 6S .

Actually I would need to serial connect two 3S batteries to make 6S. Parallel would just make a higher capacity 3S

@mayan Remember though if you have a high powered motor and esc and you have low C rated batteries your max amp draw hasn't changed and you may burn up the batteries. So be careful that way.Thanks will maybe use this to serial two 3S batteries and get a 6S that way I might be able to save some money
Now if you take your planes you have and if they can handle the extra weight you could put 2 in parallel (still 3S or 2S) and double the flight time.
Maiden on 4s 3600 pack went well. I only had one pack with me, first flight went great and I came down after 3 minutes with 60% left. Tried a second flight and belly flopped but only had a bit of a nose wrinkle. Second throw went better but with 60% left full throttle is barely enough to take off on 4s. Flies great though as my first jet, fsw or edf.

One thing I do is when I finish making 1 wing, I take a scrap piece and trace out the wing center on it and save it for later. And usually when I'm ready to make the fuselage side wall the scrap piece comes in handy. Usually a bit smaller than the scrap piece as well. The edf tube, I now make by rolling foam board into a circle and trim to fit. You can use a string to wrap around the Edf to give you the tube size flat... cut a bit bigger just in case and trim to fit...
My 2 cents... cheers

One more quick hint. Please remove all stickers from your EDF motor. If you don't, they will come off inside the plane and rip a round hole off the foam tube you make. That's from experience

THanks, mine came with motor installed, no stickers.
