RE: F-18 with EDF???
you know what- i completely missed your AUW of 43oz..i thought it was 29oz with batteries!
my bad.
i run the numbers not just from first principles but also in motocalc.
in summary i get this: for your setup
thrust:weight
46:43 static at WOT
32A..93 mph...quick!
3:41 flight time.
optimum level flight speed 45 mph, gives 46 minutes flight!...under half throttle.
nice...
this makes it a little easier to mix and match...standby....
