WHAT??????

What happened to the [8D] bird?
Don't you go teasing me and pull it out from under me. You, You, You teaser.

Crap I still have to put together the F16's, the T33 hasn't even got here yet and you spring another one?

I'm going to start calling you GWS Ray.

THESE!!

Especially the second one with rotating engines

The [8D] Bird is most definatly gonna happen
i was given the wink that a new EDF is comming that will be available on both sides of the Pond
i am hoping that the Stryker flyers will love the speed of the [8D] Bird and with an EDF it will be something different and FAST,

on the other hand the Vulcan is Screaming out to be done,
it wont be a Ballistic Delta but reproduce the original scale flight
i have a list as long as your arm of people who want to see an Electric Vulcan that actually flies like the full size !

it has to be done..

the 2-batterybay/nose cones are packaged and ready to go out today,

as a bonus i have put in all the depron pre cut back to the leading edge F.O.C
plus 2 extra F.O.C upper nose cones,

and 2 lower nose cones and one F.O.C
when they arrive in good condition i will send you a paypal for the 2-sets of batterybay/nose cones

Lets See GWS beat that for Customer Care !

that should keep you airbourne for a while

sorry for the delay.. but the T33 took up valuable press and production time
the T33 is causing a bit of excitement here in the U.K.
especially as it blasts around the sky with the wing tip tanks,

your T-33 is winging its way to you TOO [8D]

Ah I love the military channel on HDTV. I've lost count of all of the documentaries I've seen of the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels.

I think the next plane should be either: the F/A-22 Raptor, the F/A-18 Hornet, or the F/A-35 Joint Strike Fighter (newest guy on the block in today's military. Vtol, stealth, lots of , what could be better? It's also supposedly the last manned U.S. fighter, hopefully I'll get to fly it if I chose the AF as my career...supposedly going to be decomisioned in 2040ish)

I hate to whine, but why is there STILL no video of the amazing "on rails" and "like an exocet" performance of this bird?! If I can't own one, I at least want to drool over one.

Cadetman... I know that you like making 'em big... but how small (theoretically) could one of your "Made of Depron" jets be made? I want something a little smaller to fly in a more controlled area...

DepronJet

what you are looking for is one of these..
http://3dfoamy.com/catalog/product_i...products_id=30

its an excellent Kit at a very good price and will fly slow and turn quickly

a true park jet,

the F16 is over 5 ft long and over 40 inch wingspan so it looks Huge in the Air,
and gives good scale speeds and manouvers,

if you want an F16 that flies like an Excocet missile you want one of these
http://www.skymasterjet.com/f16.htm

its only $1195 but with all the extras and a turbine jet you are looking a $8000 to see it fly !

the DepronJet F16 does what its designed to do
its a Big F16 at low cost and flies very well on a 300 watt set up that is very cost effective

i have a UK builder who spent more on a retract system than the Kit cost !!!

Someone did retracts for the f-16?

Got any pics???

DepronJet

Terry

Yip he Sure Did

just waiting of pics and Vid too,

he has fitted gear doors aswell, i cant wait to see how he did it,
he didnt have a problem fitting the air tank as there is lots of room in the fuselage
Ray

ScottMcLeod

Wicked. The video on that site was good enough to tide me over ^_^

My Feedback: (12)

Ray;

Did he leave the wing flat, or build it up like the T-33??

If he built it up, I wounder what that did to the flight envelope...

DepronJet

but for $7700 less you can have this http://media.putfile.com/savefile051...F16-Road-Promo

much more fun and less tears when it hits the ground in a less than perfect landing

Ray

DepronJet

Terry

i am still waiting for details

he is doing a file so it can be added to the F16 disk so others can see how its done
he didnt mention a profile wing!
but he is gonna Vid it and he is taking it away with him next week to europe and he told me that once they see it fly get ready for orders !

Ray

TerryE

My Feedback: (12)

You gonna make / market it too?

DepronJet

Terry

he said it was an easy modification to do so i may incorperate it as a build option

Hello Ray. What are you guys doing to me??? I knew I should not have started reading the posts here again. Now I really want to build that giant Depron F16! I keep telling myself I'd probably be a better pilot if I could tell when my airplanes were upsidedown. Since I can't get any better glasses the big F16 seems like a fun and affordable solution I still need to get my EDF F18 project dialed in and finish a stock 3D Foamy F18. But I think after that the giant F16 is next! I skimmed most of the posts but didn't notice if the plans for for giant F16 were for sale. If you buy the formed parts you get the building plans? I think I read you got over 100mph on yours? What was powering it and how did the Depron hold up?

DepronJet

Hello PilotSmith

i am reading your F18 EDF.. Nice work
its more advantagous to buy the Vaccum parts only and cut your own depron from the paper templates,
i dont have a radar gun so i wouldnt say it was over 100 for sure !
the vertical was almost non existant,
my prefered set up is a 400 watt tower pro motor on a 4S1P 2000ma 20 C pack with a 10x7 prop,
gives nice speed and excellent climb rate but not vertical,
i like to fly it scale even though its not a scale model,

i am just getting into EDF and thinking of an EDF F16 using this http://www.himodel.com/plane/F76×H4...or_2409-7T.php

the EDF will give 1150 grams (40 ounces) of thrust @13.5 volts and the AUW will only be 32 ounces

i can only but try

I really want to build that f-16. I have to much crap sitting on the bench right now, almost done but still waiting on parts and 2 maidens

Thanks Ray. I just hope I get a complete flight out of her soon. She has survived a lot for the few flights she has had. Hoping my luck doesn't run out before I get it working right. I have to say I am totally sold on using Depron or BlueCore for construction. Very easy to work with and holds up amazingly well on crashes.

Wow, that seems like one great deal for that fan unit you found. 40oz of thrust and it includes the brushless motor for only $29.99?!?! I just checked and that store is located in China (explains low price) and shipping is $7.00 to USA. At that price I can even afford to make my SlowSticks EDF powered! Just kidding. Seems about the same size as the MiniFan 480. Would that be a good unit for the giant F16? I really have no need for the fan unit right now but at that price I'm tempted to get one for my box-o-stuff. I'm sure sooner or later I could put it to good use. Think I'll have my wife add it to my stocking stuffer list for this Christmas.

Do the formed parts for the F16 come with PDF plans to print out so you can cut the Depron pieces yourself?
