What motor is that Berko?
OH I see its a 50 to 70 mm EDF Well I hope you have better luck then Ben Harbor had his little ducted fan Flerken ended up a fiasco but if anyone can make it work you can! If you do it will be major COOL!

If you do it will be major COOL! He had his EDFs above the wing/above the CG. This would create a nose down rotational momemt around the center of lift/drag. Same reason why the pod mounted pusher planes need downthrust. Mine is slightly below, so if anything it will create an pitch up momemt. |

As an update, my EDF Flerken flies fine.
Turns out I was right on why Ben's didn't fly.
It would probably do better with twin 50mms.
The little 3S 64mm EDF was screaming it's guts out. It isn't exactly a rocket ship... maybe 50mph or so, but it sounds and looks good.
The flurkin got tossed around by the wind a fair bit, which I was kind of surprised by, but I guess it makes sense given the low wing loading.
If I had to do it again, I would do twin 50mms, but that would be hard to balance. A 4S 64mm would perfect, and a 4S 70mm would probably be a little overkill, but a blast.

That looks like an FS-I6 Transmitter mine have the antenna mod as well but I went with two 9db antenna not just one and mine seems to have much better range did it to both my FS-6X transmitters also they came with 10 channels just had to turn the last four on.

Yeah, this has the RX out of the mig 29 in it. I was too lazy to bind it up with my Radiomaster. I couldn't tell that the antenna gave me more range. I do fly in a ton of interference. So maybe that is why, all I was ever able to get was about 600m, which is worlds better than my car, and fine for most LOS. My mom bought it for me, so I kind of don't want to get rid of it. I know there is a way to upgrade it to do ELRS, and to 10ch with a different firmware, but I can't get my computer to connect. I wish I could retrograde to windows 10, I updated to 11 like a dummy, but half of the stuff doesn't work with 11, so that sucks. I like the way everyone seems shocked yet pleasantly surprised I still use one of those from time to time. Sometimes the big old radiomaster is a pain to tug along, and you just don't need it. |

I got the 4S EDF in it and it has tons more power. I thought was recording, the first flight went great. The second pack I boofed the throw, and the plane crashed and I couldn't recover in time. It was a 2 minute fix. I usually just trash my DTFB planes when they crash, but this was easy enough to save and worth it.
