Default Pilot Dolphin Jet 86" trainer conversion to EDF

Like the Title states, I have just received my Pilot Dolphin Jet, and promised Tony at Pilot RC I would do a simple build or conversion thread as I went along.

My Dolphin will have:

Schübeler DS94-700 HST for roughly 28lbs thrust
2x 7s 10000 mah lipos for 14s (custom from Alien Power Systems)
300 amp esc (Alien power systems)
Electric landing gear/controller from Pilot
Custom made Thrust tube - size to be determined

nevermind the dirty shop - just getting things done...lol



Did I mention this is my first EDF build.....hence the trainer jet...... I have flown RTF edfs, large scale warbirds, large scale 3d, helis, but never built a large scale edf arf....nor have I flown a large scale jet, I have been practicing with a hobby king 90mm cobra jet... So I plan to learn as I go.

Feel free to offer advice, or inspiration as I go, Try not to be overly critical. This is after all a project for fun.
