I know I am going to get a lot of flak for this.. but here it goes...
Is EDF really better than BVM 91 powered ICDF?
With EDF we can't seem to get good speed controllers as they are all out of stock/recall.
The flight time is measured in 2 or 3 minutes.
Finding space to add batteries is tricky along with maintaining CG.
But they are reliable(assuming the new controllers wont blow up like the old ones.. however, I dont plan to be a beta tester).
With ICDF I suppose the main issue is mess and noise.
But the flight time is at least 5 mins, perhaps more right?
And you get a nice smoke trail and it is relatively cheap.
But I guess you could throw a rod or more likely, blow a plug making it less reliable.
Is there a case for ICDF?
This is totally and completely inaccurate. Castle had an issue with their HV controllers but the ICE2 controllers are out now and guys have been giving them rave reviews. So your statement is horribly inaccurate. Besides, Castle isn't the only dog in this hunt. There are many other companies out there who make great ESC's.
