RE: edf take off
Try the HET F-18. Do a search here for it, and you will find a lot of neat info. RTModels.com has excellent documentation available. I just LOVE mine. Mega 16/15/2 brushless, cc 45 esc and a pair of 1550 lipo's. Two, 4 minute flights with cooling in between flights per pair of packs. 80 - 90 mph. ROG with landing gear mod (I made my own from 3/32 music wire vs. the Wattage Corsair mains.) Very realistic take offs and landings. A real nice machine.
