Been building this lil bugger whilst waiting for components for my other larger aircraft to dry almost done, it has a 15" wingspan and i packing 40mm EDF thats chucks out 214g of thrust on 3s. **Donated By Nitrocharged of www.nitrocharged.com ** Just waiting for the new AEO rc 40mm 7 bade EDF rotor to arrive until then this lil bugger is on hold, any who i just need to source out a V-tail mixer ** Recieved V-tail mixer, Was Donate by P51P51 From www.wingmanrc.com **

*Update 25/01/2013*

Oops forgot the pics here they are

Had a little spare time and glued all tte top formers, the rudder and installed the rest of the elctronics

Also i used my top-secret depron compound forming technique to make a few important pieces of the Ducting

But im still not sure the esc will have enough cooling in its current position

I will make a video on conpound forming the depron

40mm EDF F-35A build part one (1 min 4 sec)

Damn she looks like a sexy little park screamer. In the words of Borat,

very nice, high five (0 min 4 sec)

Nice work K.

Ethan

Thanks Ethan i'm just waiting on the new rotor from AEO but in the mean time im going to buy a 6 Blade rotor and then change it when the new rotor arrives

Im hoping for speeds in excess of 100mph when i change over to a dons wicked 7000kv with the 7 blade rotor, i should have around 320g of thrust on 4s maybe some day I'll build a 70mm FPV version....


K

Big thanks to P51P51 from www.wingmanrc.com for providing me with a GWS V-Tail mixer check out his site cos he has loads of.cool stuff

Just did some caclulations and the 40mm edf before it blew up, was drawing 15A on 2s and was pulling 133Watts an on 2s thats gives me 301 Watts/lb so i should be okay for ROG with some lightweight msic wire gears (thats at my predicted weight of 195g)

K

few more calcs says i will have 199Watts on 3s at 451Watts/lb MAN ARE YOU CRAZY !!!!!!!

K, this is yet again proof that you can start and build and basically finish a project, Being that your F-35 is nearly complete.

I can't wait to see her fly!

Than you Chris...
Im hoping to have this done in a few days and have my airliners done in the coming months

Tis F-35 should fly fast but im still deciding on maidening with gear or not??

Nah make her a belly flopper, gust put some fiberglass tape on her belly.

k... belly flopper it is thought id put gear on her cos i have a tarmac runway and so ic an do touch n goes...but ill have her as a bely flopper first..

Checking the fit of the top skin panel for the F-35 all looks good but it will need some trimming at the rear

Todays trip to the local hobby store to get some more foam, music wire wheels and some other misc items...


K

Now I'm impressed! Sweet!

Good work K!

Thanks dd, but i can't really progress till i get a ne rotor fo this fan and whats really annoying is that i have cash in hand but the only placeni can get the rotor is online
