I did a Freewing F-22 with a K-45G3. It was fairly simple. I flew it on 8s for a year before I converted it. Several have asked for photos so I will put some here. So far 20 flights and it is great. It is no longer your standard foamy EDF. Its lots of fun but you must respect the airframe limits. I had a Jeti Mspeed pitot tube installed on the 8s EDF and was able to see 100mph easy enough in a dive but rarely got 110mph. Now it will hit 100mph on downwind turn from takeoff if thrust is not reduced. I have my alarm set for 100mph you must reduce thrust on dives or straight lines to avoid exceeding 100mph. I am still using stock servos but added carbon sleeves to the elevator pushrods.
