that looks so sharp in blue. love it!

honestly, that doesn't sound like a bearing. they usually scream/squeal when it's a bearing. I don't hear that. not sure what's going on there, but IMHO it doesn't sound like a bad bearing.

D_FAST,

Just saw this.

Awesome job on your TSD !


We used to carry the original. Faaaaast little jet it was.

Thanks guys, it helps to keep the builds going when there is interest in them.

With paint curing,
we are spending the time working up a cradle, as throwing this thing has been thrown out the door.
Hoping for a maiden this weekend if we can figure out that engine whine.
I have honestly never heard anything like that before with an outrunner set up.

if all goes well, Im thinking of tweaking the airfoil to use a thicker chord for easier landing gear installation, and then resizing plans for 70,80,120mm units

These jets are know for thier speeds.
If your looking for a very fast model, I would change out the EDF for a Wemotec Midifan pro, Mach 80mm or Shubie DS-44.

I'd be interested in a 80mm or 90mm plans set. Definately with the chord alterered to fit 80-90mm sized E-tracts. (I would sacrifice some speed for LG)
The E-Flite 15-25 size (or equivilant) would be great.
Adding Tams trailing link struts would add some weight, but be nice for those with grass fields.
We have a 80mm Habu 32 that does 161mph, flat and level. This bird would probably do 175 with the same setup.

D, really looking good! I like the blue. Good luck on it's maiden.. W
