Wicked powered Windrider BD-5J EDF Jet

[KRAZY KAT]

Hi Don, first i am going to trim it out with 6x4 . Then if it flys well i will go down in size and then 4s if all is well. I ya need any help converting over give me a e-mail.

[The Don]

I was planning on a 4S and a 4.5 x 4 prop. That really scooted my 36" Ritewing Lightning and think it will push this prety good. Any other photo you have of the build would be appreciated if you have them.

Sorry Don i don't. I just followed your build and just installed the rest in. The cone is from a funjet. I did the reduction of the tail as you showed in your build. With the funjet motormount you can adjust the up and down with the lower screw.

[KRAZY KAT]

o, on the prop i will use the 4.75x5.5. I have use it on my funjet with 4s and it ran fine and very fast.

Sorry to bring back an older thread, but are there any US companies selling this baby? All I can find is UK...

[sukhoidave]

I don't know of any US companies but the shipping from Windrider in Hong Kong is pretty quick.

[The Don]

Ming ships fast and it always arrives fast, he must have special connections :D

HI
I have ordered one DB also. That DB is lots of airframe for that size so you need thrust also. So you that are going to use pusher setupp.
go for one that will rew 20000rpm with 7x4 APC glow prop.
That is well proven combination that will make you say wow!!!!
with smal Chinese motors that we sell 50-70g 1880-2200kV at 3s pack 1600-1800 20 c packs. this gives 1,2kg of thrust at 22-23A aroun 17000rpm, the speed is good.
If you go for a 4s setupp it shoud be around 1,5-1,6kg , feels suficien for that plane.

Thinking about ordering one from Ming, if he ships to europe for $25 too, that is.. What is the difference between EPP and EPS?

[kushal_22]

EPS is more of a "Styrfoam"
EPP is mre "Rubbery" you can grip it hard and you will not leave finger dents. if you are going to d ANY mdifications to the airframe though EPS is what you want.

Thanks Mal, I thought so already but now I'm sure :) Will NOT order the EPP version then :)

Still not sure if I'll order one AND if it's going to be EDF or prop driven; I saw some mods that make it look a bit more scale but it's not really a speed demon..

[kushal_22]

No it~s no speed demon although I have gotten mine almost int the 90MPH Mark.
It`s a nice EDF I would recomend putting in one of Don`s motors into it.

I have the scorpion 2221-08 ,otor in mine with 4S and it could use a little more Punch...Don seems to have a great setup though.

Hey Don - Did you ever go pusher on this thing? :)

[The Don]

Nope, goes too good as EDF so I just keep flying it :)

[Tram]

I'd like to pick one up and I can't decide which way to go with it.. :)

[Andy2No]

Don, its all balance and ready to maiden. BD-5 Dons 2700 kv, pentium 40,KRAZY KAT, how did it work out with your pusher version? I'll be building mine (EPP) as a pusher so any more details would be welcome.
