B-777
Eflite airliner w/2x Dons wicked4000kv and 2x pentium 60a esc.3a ubec.
Maiden videos shot at a huge field with long runway.Found the motors more than powerful enough to use a much shorter (and closer) field. Shot with a bushnell speedsterII at 70mph. Not bad for a flying cantalope .4 flights here.2 on tired old 25c and 2 on new but broke in 30c.You can see and HEAR the difference.
Lucky me, the winds just kept rising on each cycle.This last landing was nothing short of dumb luck, and plenty of power.
This was my first edf and it really went well. The sound of those twins..oooh! I'm a "fan" now! Thanks Don! |

This required drilling a new mounting hole and tapping it. |

Wish I knew how fast I was really going. With stock intake/exhauast tubes, what are most guys getting? mph wise? |
