Bit of an aside, but are you saying you are flying an EDF glider?
- CrazyCatDog 6y agoHaven’t bothered :) Only “toy” EDF models, performance from an 8KW system revving at 60K rpm at 10S (10 lipo cells in series) swinging a 19” folding prop is on par with a mini turbine in terms of performance (0-> 180mph+ in under 2 seconds). Granted this is for 2 meter gliders, but I would expect similar efficiencies in larger scale applications (the bmw EDF is not that much larger than RC).
- generalizations 6y agoThat's crazy. For a non-RC dude, how much thrust does that produce, and how much did it cost?
- CrazyCatDog 6y agoThe $ sounds high, but it’s nothing compared to the time that goes into building and preparing... https://youtu.be/oCS84I8vJK8 https://youtu.be/oCS84I8vJK8
