Well I looked for good info on EDF planes on WF to move over but most of the links did not work anymore, just too old.
I have 6 EDF planes ranging from a twin fan F14 with swing wings down to an insane little F-16 that weighs about 20oz ready to fly with 485+ watts of power. I just give that one a gentle toss and it is gone.
The others are recent builds or gifts that I have not had time to maiden.
I even have a 4' long XB-70, 1 fan, 6 outlets. Original fan exploded sending little plastic blades every where. A couple almost through the fuse. It now has an aluminum fan.
Our club The Puget Sound Silent Flyers, PSSF, laid down a geotextile runway a couple of years a go, now my F-14 with its tiny front wheels will be able to take off.
Little scared of this one because of the swing wings, I need much more stick time before I want to try it. If it goes in hard, that will be the end of it, there would be foam parts in a 25' radius.
EDFs are fun to fly, big enormous loops and other maneuvers. But you need your mind to be flying faster than the plane.
Lets hear about your EDFs
