Re: Smallest edf out there So, that guy invented the fly-powered model, eh? Gee, if Walt Winberg were still alive, he would contest that claim! I remember Walt with fly-powered models in the late 60s... Easy enough. Just capture a big blowfly on your living room window with a jar, throw him in the refrigerator while you cut out a paper model: the bigger the fly, the bigger the model. When the fly is barely moving, take a brushful of contact cement and dab it on his back, and on the front of the model, and join. As the fly warms up, away he goes... Walt cut out a B24 for a particularly large fly, and it flew away! I would like to know what gear is necessary to get a GWS 30 fan to fly. Any hints? |

Well i'm thinking on powering my chucky Concorde glider with a small edf, either a small twin set up or single 30mm set up. I built and used this Concorde chucky glider to figure out CG for the big model...worked really well. |

Re: Smallest edf out there You can get housings, fans, etc designed by "nitrocharged" from shapeways, down to 15mm fans I think: http://www.shapeways.com/shops/team30 |

Re: Smallest edf out there AFAIK, one of the smallest EDF's on the market is the 28mm unit used in the brand new E-Flite UMX MiG 15 EDF: http://www.horizonhobby.com/products...unit-EFLDF180M It requires a 2S 200mAh lipo. GWS makes 30mm EDF's as well: http://www.gwsus.com/english/product...stem/edf30.htm A 2S lipo is required. I have seen smaller 15mm EDF's, but these were one off hand built models that aren't readily available. Google "The worlds smallest R/C jet" for more information. |
