Tamjets EDF A-4 maiden flight
Hi guys,
I had earn the reputation that is everything for sale. I never had a chance to kept any Jets in my shop no more than a month after it flew.
So in the pass 3 years. I never have a jet that I can call it my personal airplane.
Well to the point I'm getting so tired kept building airplane for customers and even sold my demo airplane because of my bad habbit (evertyhing for sale).
So last month I had this A-4 built and send by air from the factory to me for testing. This is the new light weight version A-4 was design purpose to convert to EDF or flying on P-60 power only.
This light weight version A-4 weight 17 lbs with P-60. For EDF weight 15.5 lbs ready to fly with 12s 5000Mah.
On saturday I test the turbine version first. Hope next week convert this baby to EDF and do some test on electric power plant.
Here is few photos on saturday flights and video clip took by a friend.
Please do me a favor guys.
Don't offer me to buy this plane. It not that good. Is ugly. You don't need this one.
A-4 take off.

There is NO way that Tam will turn down a sale, dont let him fool you. Even if you want it in another color....NO WAY I TELL YOU! I have the serial number on this plane, and I will gaurantee that somebody other then Tam will own it by the next jet show.........GAURANTEED!
However, I have been begging him to build his own personal plane and get some flying in.....and he does......for about 3 flights, about the normal time frame for somebody to call him up and say:
"How much Daddy"?
Tam pauses for a minute and says "no no no...dis is Daddy pusanol airprane, not eben DabePressa fry dis baaby....only Daddy"
"Why?"
"You got green money?"
"OOOOOhhhhh, ok......maybe Daddy sell you dis one, I make nuba fo myselp"
"It fly sooooo goooooooot, eben Daddy can lan wit-ou scratched!"

Thanks Eddie,
Look what got done this evening.
Around 4 pm. I stop taking phone call and start lay part for EDF A-4. Thanks god for summer heat. Part can pull out from the mold in few hours.
I got the inlet lip finish and primer. Tomorrow final finish and get ready to paint to match the color with my red/white A-4.
Hope by end of next week you see my EDF A-4 hit the sky for the first time.

RE: That is new. My personal A-4 to kept.
Yes Tam, make the EDF version. Mine is so cool, and now weights 8,5kg with the turbine gear and the "old heavy" wings.
P.S. I´m now flying with 14S 4900 XCell and 109A. That is cool. More power and more runtime because at half throttle the volts are higher and VxA=W!!!!!!!!
New start and landing video is here. I´ve got more but too big.

RE: That is new. My personal A-4 to kept.
Hello Tam, thats right.
I would also love to have one with 7kg. What would you expect how thats goes with 5,5kW :-))))))))))))).
I think the landing speed would also be much lower for european landing strips!!

I see your landing. Bring up the nose up and mix 1/4 crow. You should albe come in much slower.
See the landing speed on my A-4 video. That is 17 lbs plus some fuel.
5.5KW. I would said around 150 mph plus.
