EDF Kits suitable for turbines
Hi Guys
Does anyone have a good list of EDF birds that are 1600mm or wider wingspan? I'm just thinking about converting an EDF kit for pure laziness, Hobbyking do a large F86 which looks like it would be good enough to convert or even make a mould from to put a 15lbs turbine in! Or, if anyone has any links to free EDF plans or turbine plans that would also be handy!!!! |

Hobbytopgun Mig15
Really good performer but very slow to turn. When doing a 4 point roll as fast as you can it still takes the whole flight line. Knifedges comfortable too, but with alot of coupling. A little too big and flexes too much I think. http://skillingaryd.nu/files/2012/08/flymeet7B.jpg A couple of short clips of the Mig15 at 0:55, 2:30 and 5:25 [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjKSvCu8ZAw[/youtube] http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10...m.htm#10644917 Ready2fly Venom (turbine convertion kit are just about ready to ship) Great flying plane which is a bit faster to turn and better for aerobatics. This is the best flying foamy I have tried. http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/8...5zed201206.jpg [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kklzUigHeLU[/youtube] |

I agree. The ReadyToFly Venom is a superb plane. They had a stand next to us at Jetpower and fitted P20 in one. Flew brilliantly.
The other EDF converted to Turbine worth considering is the Savex L39 fitted with a Wren44. These fly really well and there's loads of posts on RCU regarding this little beauty. <span style="font-family: '.HelveticaNeueUI'; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px; white-space: nowrap; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); ">http://www.savex.cz/prod.php?lang=en&id=10 Ian<br type="_moz" /></span><br type="_moz" /> |

RE: EDF Kits suitable for turbines
In my opinion most cheap china GF kits turn out too heavy. Sure they do fly, but not in a relaxing way. When buying a turbine in this class costing atleast $1900 you should really choose an airframe with care too. It's not the money but rather getting a plane that flies good without bad habits and that are not under powerd. I think you are way better of with any of the 90mm foamies then the GF kits unless spending enough to buy a Savex or even better a Schübeler.
Compare my video of the Venom with the Mig15 just posted above. Lighter more powerful turbine vs heavier and less power. These pretty much represent the two opposite ends of the scale. Again, this is how I think and others have diffrent preferences. ;) |

"EDF birds that are 1600mm or wider wingspan"
Very limited choice if you want composite kit. These are close. CARF Spark? JTENG range? JTM XXX Sport Jet? Tomahawk Stinger? Habu32? Then you have TopGun or FlyFly foamies and those already mentioned but you wouldn't want to put a 15lb turbine in one of those! ...and forgot to mention there is a 90mm EPO Yak 130 coming out soon but again turbine and foamie...probably best not. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ7uQp9VcLY |
RE: EDF Kits suitable for turbines
Cheers for the responses guys, looks like they're too small for me then! a 15lbs will be wayyy too much plus once you've added the weight of the engine, fuel etc they'll fly a bit awkwardly! any clue as to other designs? I really want to do an F35 but the plans I've found are foamies and they just don't support the strengths that I require etc! I emailed Oakdale about their plan but I've had no response after 8 days :-(

Again I think the Hawk has plenty of power while the Mig is a bit slow, but I'm sure both do fly with no problems. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veUpBsrwECo[/youtube] |

Hi,
This maybe, for 120 mm EDF or 8 kg thrust turbine, Italian C&C Models BAE Hawk. Wingspan 1900 mm / 74.8 inch. http://www.cmodels.it/modelli_jet/baehawk%20c&c.htm EDF powered flight video of the plane: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srkDHNXt-BI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5L83p-YZr8 /Bo |
RE: EDF Kits suitable for turbines
The HK fiberglass MIG-15 flies great on EDF. Mine weighed right around 7lbs before I dumb thumbed it into the trees. I got a new one but the paint on the wings is not sticking very well to the covering. Also the internal formers are not the same so it will be alittle more work to get this one in the air.
But I don't think any of the HK EDF kits will be suitable for a 15lb turbine. They would really only be good for something like a P20 or a kolibri turbine. You need to look at something from Yellow, Jet Hangar or Century Jet. |

They dont sell them anymore but that might be found at the manufactuors website. Prodesign. Im placing a P-60 between the engines. Fuel tanks will most likly be installed in the intakes. Specs: Wingspan: 1200mm Length: 1737mm about 15lbs flying weight. |
