Hey Guys

I have been flying glow for years but am now getting into edf ( am building a 78" me-262). What is all needed to use EDF's in the plane? I mean I need fans and motors but what else is needed. It looks like the engine pods will fit a max of a 90mm fan. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

FANS, MOTORS, ESC(ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL) UNIT FOR EACH FAN and either 2 batteries, i per fan, or a Large battery to power both fans, and a stand alone BEC(battery eliminator circuit) for the rx/servos, inlet ring, exhaust tube. if i were in AZ and needed help with a new EDF set up, i would be looking to find Bob Ruff. wherever in AZ he might be at the moment, and pick his brain for as much as he would allow.

Thank you for that help. I have been doing alot of research online and have found alot of good info. I have ordered a set of Change Sun 90mm 12 blade fan units. The questions I have about the motors if you buy say a motor rated for 6s lipo can you use 8s batteries or 10s to get the rpm up on the fan?

really is dependent on the particular motor, and the installation. motors are designed to sink/bleed a certain amount of heat over time used. if you up the cell count, you also up the potential for heat. if the motor is over designed, or if you have a really good install with a lot of air flowing over the motor, you can get away with 1 or 2 cells extra, but it will still generally shorten the lifespan of the motor.
i seem to be remembering, that bob is a member here, so you might be able to pm him through the RCU system. uses some form of his name for a handle.
