has anybody converted a Yellow Aircraft F-4 Phantom to EDF using a singe unit? I'm toying with the idea of using a 120mm alloy unit from Skyworld-RC, running off 8 or 10-cell li-po through a 120A ESC. I've seen youtube vid's of one converted to twin 90mm EDF's, but I think a single 120mm will be cheaper, sound better, and save a LOT of work by using the bi-furcated ducting that comes with the kit.
Does anyone have one of these kits for sale?
Cheers

Yes a few have been done and they fly much better on EDF then they ever did on glow. One of the guys that pioneerd EDF and electrics is doing a build thread now on this link.

I dont know much about the sky world unit. I would try and stick to the proven quality units like a dynEmax XPS or EVF fan. Stumax max fans are a very good choice for the yellow kits also. They are the perfect size and sound so good.

The E-turbax from jethangar.com is the most bang for your buck and fits the YA internal ducting for DF jets fine.
Their 120 mm fan, Neu 1527 1.5Y motor with a CC110 HV ESC will set you back $695. and it
can be assembled ready to run in an hour or two.
The F-4 would be even better on a pair of 90mm midi fans with new internal ducting.
