Has anybody ever snapped a 50mm EDF on a MM FT-22? AUW would be less than Grifflyers L-39 and you can modify the crap out of that airframe to do that. I use the FT model just as a reference as there are so many similar takes on that platform but most of you would recognize the Ft one. This is an old balsa model running some kind of gas powered ducted fan motor . @burkeomatic I am seeing a blended wing thing here(I don't know if that works here LOL) The original has a 33 inch wingspan which I think would work. Any thoughts on this from you all?  |

Any thoughts on this from you all? Yep I am thinking something along those lines. I don't see why not. My Mig29 has 2 50mms and weighs almost 1000g. If I am not mistaken, the 4s 50mms make about 900g thrust. I always assume mine are 750g. Should be more than enough. I don't think you will have an issue. Those little side mounting tabs on EDFs make it perfect for profileish planes like that. |

Thats the thing , its not a profile plane. If you look at what the Nerdologist on youtube does what he does with the FT Alpha platform it could be any plane.

Sorry, to me prop slot planes may as well be profiles. A lot of EDFs have those little side nubs. The way I go about things, which may or may not help you, is to get the body built, then lay the motor and the battery out, and decide placement from there. This is pretty well exactly what I had in mind. Looks like Ricky's son got into RC, and I love it.  |
