Best 70mm fan, motor, esc, & lipo setup?
New to EDFs, i just bought a phase three f-16 last week that i plan on practicing with it throughout the winter, i am going to build a bigger 70mm EDF this winter, possibly a HET F-15, F-18 or F-16, what would be the the best setup to use as far as power, reliability, sound and all around performance. I do have some 6s 2500-3000mah lipos i own for one of my helis that i would like to utilize to cut some of the cost but it is not necessary, also are the HET 70mm models with landing gear tough enough and powerful enough to take of from grass? (I'm talking grass almost as fine as a putting green, any input would be appreciated.

www.ductedfans.com has some pretty sick stuff for pretty much any edf project you want to do. They had all the motors, edf units, and jet kits I needed. As for the esc, my favorite brand to use is CastleCreations... always found those to be the most reliable.
