Default RE: BVM EDF

Plug and play is only available in fans and some smaller airframes. You are also currently fairly limited on availability. BV will bring plug and play in a size package that is more acceptable to the average flier and it will be in stock more than likely. The 90mm sized and smaller planes are not as attractive to most fliers. Weight is very critical on 90mm and under sized planes meaning in some cases bungy launching. That is were the size issue becomes important to the average flier. While I and others are willing to watch weights to get them to fly well, the average flier does not like to mess with issues such as this. Being able to assemble or build an edf that you can drop standard size radio gear and retracts, etc, into is where the larger edf's start to build the market.

While some in this forum may think this thread is hilarious, I feel it means people are starting to look for alternatives to the problems associated with turbines, i.e., high cost, waiver issues, and possible problems with flying sites.
