Very impressive.They certainly "come alive"when you get the legs underneath.

Ehhhh!
dont know whats happened, i ve been subscribbed but no notifications during this 2013!...
great build Terry!
2 things:
i see the edfs a litle small...not a problem if they can pull the model fast enogh to get in the air...or you have a long, long runaway...
2) where's the speed control location? in the duct inlet? outside? one esc for both fans? i think is one per fan.
Very good! (as always)
Saludos y abrazos!

Hi JuanFe, remember my Scimitar much the same size flew on 70`s with two ESC`s. You can just see them hung in the breeze under the nose with strakes to protect them if a belly landing is required.I think 90`s are overkill but the jetpipes look scale.
Began skinning nose.Pic showing wiring.

stick with what works. if it aint broke, don't fix it. LOL.

your build look light as heck, im sure 2x70mm hot setups would fly this.

I would love to be able to work on this scale. You ve done an excellent job so far, and off some crude 3-view drawing to boot.

This man is a genius...Im amazed at how it sits without any alterations. Also..you you have and "clips of they scimitar in flight we could oggle ate pontious?

Alls well..... All I had to do was find your Scimitar build log...and there were the clips. So..I say again.....You are a genius..

Here is the Scimitar take off clip showing no lack of power on 6x cell 70`s.
