Hey Dave what are you going to run for a fan?

I'd love to see one of these go on the new turbo fan 8000... it's a drop in fit in the byron.. but has 28 pounds of thrust
the fan is just a beast.. if you look at post 14 on page one there's a video of it on a wild hornet... just super sick!!

Hey Ron,

I'm running the standard byron fan conversted to electric with the Hacker A50-14s... although 28lb sounds nice, at $1200-1300 USD, for the fan and motor, then the cost of the ESC,packs you would be well and truly at the cost of a turbine. i'd go a kero burner at the drop of a hat if i had that kind of money to throw at one of these.

It does sound good, but i'm more like at the entry stage of EDF, were as i see that kind of fan/motor combo for those who just want to get the most out of what's out there. I'm busting for a turbine, so that would be my first choice.

Ghost, on the other hand might be interested?

Thanks

dave
