Hi , decided to created this thread so that anyone can post your pictures of your DIY EDF plane and discussion.
To "kick off" is the pictures of my own design EDF plane .
This plane uses modified 55EDF on 3 blade rotary blade from a cut down 3 blade 9-7 prop... and a 5.4KV mtr from R Hobby.
Run on 3S 1800maH lipo drawing a max 17 amps of current at over 54,000rpm.
Estimated thrust is over 400grams.
Maiden sucessfully this morning. Plane is Fast but control throw is a bit sensitive. Need to reduce the Elevon throw setting. Make only one flight because the sky was dark and cloudy.
Plane:
Plane uses a 6mm Dupron and a 3 mm hollow C.F rod to stiffen and strenthened the wing. Wing is a basic delta form.
Fuselage is a 5mm dupron externally lined with 0.5mm ply, side and bottom.
Bottom fuselage waterproof using a 3.5 inch packing tape. This will allows light weight and yet a strong fuselage.
Top fuselage uses a 7-12 oz styro cup cut join and shape accordingly. This will reduce drag and improve flying speed if done properly.( Next time don't throw away the styro cup) ...maybe I should call this plane "Flying styro cup"
heh! heh! heh!
RTF weight with the LIPOS is 395 grams.
Cheers
