Hello all I am looking to get a EDFand the only info I can find is where not to buy. It looks like banana and Nitro planes are out. Tower hobbies only has like 3 jets.
Please help all of the new guys out here where do we go to buy a decent plane? Thanks.

Here's a good start....... http://www.hobby-lobby.com/electric_jets.htm
The EPO foam F-86 is excellent and just needs a receiver!

Thanks for the fast reply everyone, I forgot to mention something Banana hobby seems to have planes that nitro planes doesnt have that hobby lobby doesnt seem to have. Are these wholesalers given exclusive rights to the product and thats why i can only find a specific plane on only one site? At this point I think im going to buy a Parkzone Habu due to parts access and customer support cause I am still fairly new to the whole art of flying an rc plane or heli.

I liked the banana hobby 360 vector F 16 and the nitro planes Airfield F 16 cause they are 70mm EDF and they are the biggest EDF planes I found that fly super fast and stable at low speeds But with all the bad things Ive read I cant bring myself to buy from them even if they are my top 2 favorites . Thanks again for all the help. Some of these questions are kinda repeats but any pots i can find are dated 2007 and alot can happen in 3 years.

Thanks Again and again I cant thank everyone enough. ~Joe

I just came across the following web site for Chinese-made jets.  The prices are incredible (1/2 to 1/3 of most other stores)  I just bought a T-50 jet from them.   Art M

Have you considered Hobbyking? They came out with a few nice EDF's the past month. Today a nice [link=http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=11407]ARF F9F panther[/link] and a few days ago with a [link=http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=11033]F-14 with folding wing[/link] (unfortunately on back order already).

Wow, I was coming here to post the exact thing pretty much word for word. I will be sure to check out the links that have been posted already, but does anyone else have any other reputable dealers to recommend? Thanks in advance.

I posted about Hobbyking because I have very good experience with them. Not from their jets, but from their other products.

Don't be afraid of ordering from Nitroplanes. I have placed 6 orders with them (3 in the last month for jets) and had no problems. Shipping is quick and all have arrived from California to New York in a week.

Can you let use know which plane you bought?

I've flown the L-39 and T-45 Composite.
Both fly real well, I converted the L-39 to a 5 cell with the stock MB-1 motor, and a 100amp ESC. It's a beast!

Extra Fury

Any ideas on a large EDF Gripen? With retracts if possible?

I have the PZ Habu and highly recommend that EDF as an outstanding place to start. It is VERY well engineered and has plenty of power as "stock". It is a little more expensive than the typical foamie EDF's go, but I think it is worth it. You get what you pay for! I bought the receiver ready version and used my own 2.4ghz system (Futaba 6EX). The ailerons are very sensitive, put a good bit of expo (-50 to -60) on low rate. Use a good lipo 4cell, 3000-3500mah/30 to 40C. You'll love it!

Yambuster

This F14 is now in stock. Just ordered one.
Thanks,

What esc and motors did you get from them to go with it?

plane-addict

I don't know what Yambuster bought, but if you look at the related items (look for the image below how you can find the related items) then there are 2 suggestions:
- Turnigy 2610 EDF Outrunner 5000kv for 55/64mm
- Turnigy 2615 EDF Outrunner 4800kv for 55/64mm

remember that there are 2 fans, so you need two motors and 2 ESC's. Both motors are rated for ~34 Amps, so any 40-60A esc should be enough.

I just ordered my EDF F-86 from Hobbyking today. I payed a less than US$ 90 including shipping. Can you imagine that the same plane is sold locally for Euro 110 by Robbe, a German distributor?

I've had good service from Philip at PW-RC in China

HobbyKing is also a favorite but only order if item is in stock. Customer service is lacking though if something isn't right once it arrives.
