Default RE: F-18 with EDF???

Hi Carl,

The info is great.....thanks!

any chance you could measure the output thrust?..that the most important factor for me. The power generated helps, but doesnt tell me what actual impetus is needed to fly the model. As i understand it, the thrust exits via a split duct?

i am trying to get away with a 3s pack only. I know nothing about nimh batteries-maybe you could enlighten me? I'll go that option if i cant spec a 3s lipo setup. All my planes run using 3s 2100 either gen1 or gen 2 tp. So as part of speccing a model, i try to get it to fit the rest of the fleet. That being said, it's more that i dont like the idea of having to tie up two packs in any one plane. mainly due to cost.

I have been thinking about nimh for some time now, maybe i start getting myself edumacated?!

one thing i dont know, is how much amps nimh can achieve..is there a guide/formula?

Your help is very much appreciated!

Tim.
