XF VIPER - Foamboard F-16 EDF

[Jo's squadron]

Just have to see thx to @Mid7night . I’m not the best builder but these plans are obviously well thought out and things just fit so well. I was terrified of the nose cone but it went together very easily for me!

Scaled down plans for a 50mm EDF. @AircPirateNinsei ill post them when done and built to confirm things.

@Jo's squadron that was quite awhile ago. I found these on my google drive and I think they are the resized ones.

It folds up to be a wing former/spar. Should be two of them. Those tabs will fit into the slots in the wing.

 

[Mr Man]

Yup, wing spar.

I built this with a 50mm EDF and I hope to maiden it today!
The build was kinda tough in some places, like installing the EDF and the V thing that goes between the intake and the top part were the battery goes did not fit very well. I really hope it flies just as good as it looks (and fast)!

Update
it flies quite well!
The nose drops a bit in turn of you go too slow though.
I hade some problems with my Brand new EDF making some crazy lourd noise, I tried balancing it and it looks like that fixed it.
Hope to fly it again today so we’ll see if the problem is fixed, kinda disappointed because it was advertised as perfectly balanced.
Anyway I’ll try to post some pics soon.

Hi @Mid7night, can we use 5mm thick foamboard for this build?
