Big F86 electric

[metroidrc]

Not sure if this was mentioned in this forum or not, its been in the EDF section, but its a big one so it should be shown here so everyone can see this beautiful big foamy! I ordered one with retracts, and am extremely excited about it. Check it out on EJF.com under 90mm jets.

Will be doing a build thread in the EDF section when I get all of my parts together.

Wow..
that looks great!!
I wonder how hard the foam is? I've had a few Alfa plane I love the look but the foam is really soft...
I have a stryker and it feel pretty tough

I'll be watching your thread

Saw the F-86 the other day. Looks cool :cool: Hopefully you're going to give it a little more H.P. than the one in the video. Kind of anemic looking speed wise. Maybe an Airpower 90mm EDF unit with a Neu? Looking into switching out my lipo powered planes for A123's too. The Sabre might be a candidate. :cool:

Well I don't have the kind of money to be running any Neu motors, I'm on a budget. However, I do want to run it on six cells, so that should give a speed boost right away.

Unfortunately my last names not Rockerfeller either but still won't do a project unless I know I can afford the max performance especially for jets. Still looks like a great project. Like the size. I can overlook the inlet size as long as there's no cheater hole. Kind of defeats the purpose of scale looks to have a cheater hole cut in. Pick your poison, nice inlet ducting/correct size or scale looking inlets and a yawning hole where there's not supposed to be one? Like the retract option too. Haven't tried retracts and want to, so this looks like a likely candidate. MIG Alley here we come....oh yeah let's see a MIG-15 that size!!! :cool:

Yep, I'd buy a Mig if it were available, and a big Foamy F-4 Phantom II in an instant.
I'm starting to compile a list of motors for this fan for my own setup.

How 'bout the Hun? Love to see an F-100 in the 55"+ range. :cool: :D Yep, I'd buy a Mig if it were available, and a big Foamy F-4 Phantom II in an instant.

Looks like I'm gonna go with 8s on this one. Let's see if I can tear the wings off!

I would have to try the A123's out in it. Going to try and switch my planes to the M1's and get more flying time with less cost. Don't like the weight penalty but the speed of charging kind of takes the sting out of that. Plus the 500+ cycles doesn't hurt either. ;)
