Don't listen to the nay sayers. If it's from Hobbyking it's shunned like dirt. (Points at Paul...lol...kidding buddy). I've had a number of items from there that have been excellent and that includes some of the EDF's. Het products for a power system are very good and are not going to break the bank. Peter A has made some good suggestions about what to get.

[Peter A]

HET Typhoon EDF-2W-25 1100W motor for 70mm fans, 1100W with 6S or equivalent.
Lots of options on the market, this is what I used, that's all.
You can also use WeMoTec 480 mini fan if you do not want the HET 6904 fan.

Brad,
You should have been at the Ottawa EDF fun fly last sunday. You would have learned alot about speed at a low cost an the high end of the budget as well. Terry Nitch flew a BVM electra through the speed trap at 170MH and i backed him up with my 50mm Mig 15 at a blistering 21MH...... LOL.. Good time and I learned alot and meet some really nice people as well It was worth the 5hour car ride form Newmarket.... Ill be back next year with a 90mm scale EDF of some kind...

Cool Dave!! Im gonna get rid of one of my plane to do this up. I have a Carbon Z yak that just doesn't do it for me no more.

Saying that anyone wanna trade?

I am a bit biased as I have had so much fun with my Habu that I won't be caught without 2 ready to fly unless I'm waiting for parts. I can fly the s$1t out of it knowing if I total it all it's gonna cost me is a few buck for some parts. I thought I had maxed out all that fun and then I discovered 5 cells!

The HK Viper sure looks nice and will no doubt present well. Have fun with it.

Hey just wondering if you got this yet. I am going through the same thing, specking out a 6s set up on the Viper jet.

I am completly new to the EDF, flown big gas and electric but man this stuff is a different deal.

All I will say is DONT BUY THE NANOS if you haven't already, they freagan suck I have had a bunch puff and so have buddies at the field after about 30 cycles.

I am going back and forth between a

HET 2W25 with a Wemotec fan which pulls about 60amps or an ARC28-58-1 that pulls 90amps. I think the 90 amps will smoke my pacs though..... Its crazy the stores say don't do it yet there is a guy from Ont that has this set up doing about 140mph on what looks to be 25c packs.

Look at the RCG thread there are 70pages on this thing...

Nice. Nope I havn't jumped on this project yet Im currently building a 100cc sized Ultimate that's taking up pretty much all of my time right now
