An EDF driven small aerial vehicle for fun and relaxation

Posted by Wendi Smol on April 12, 2009 at 5:18pm
Hionly lurking is no fun. So I got myself up and to post some of my ideas. I have built model planes all my life and electrics since the middle 70s and ducted fans (with IC) even earlier. To put fans and electrics together I had the best teacher one can imagine: Charly Binder, who built the first EDF using a Kress fan and a Geist motor.I had some "diversions" lately but now I want to get myself a new EDF plane and since I also want to try FVP I thought to combine the two. This is a different plane from the one I described in another thread.Have a look and tell me what you think.Have fun...W.

    A Mix between a Global Hawk and a Predator C avenger. Is that a V-tail?

    If someone made this as an ARF foamy I would buy it in a heartbeat.
    I'll be watching..... VERY NICE!

    Looks great. I'm looking forward to see some pictures of final results. Which airfoil are you planning to use for the three wingspan versions ?

    Looks very nice !
    What software did you use to produce drawings in the pictures?

    Is this something you're designing? It looks GREAT.
