F86 50mm EDF

My new EDF is on the way, ive liked the look of these little 50mm EDF`s for a while but they have been out of stock for ages, but today they were in stock so i thought bugger it and pressed the go button. £68 posted from our friendy Royal hobby shop just add TX/RX

And after Tim killed his i think its only right another F86 takes patrol over the club feild,

nice 2kW is it

pahh no were near 2kw i recon about 300w

M

Makes a change for Tim to plant his own models!
Did the price include the motor?

yep

Tim didn't - a large IC powered Pitts took off and eat her as I was appproaching finals

That looks every inch as nice as the Alfa version Mark - but a lot less dosh. Be interested to see how she flies.

Me too. The price is amazing if it flies nice

Amazing!! Ordered from Hobby City Friday at about 2pm Delivered today (Monday) at about 12pm

Man this thing is sooooooooooooooo cute, Maiden tomorrow!

M

What EDF unit did you buy for it Mark - as I assume the cost mentioned was the bare airframe and perhaps servos ?
Hobby King yes ?

I think it is ready to go Tim, just add rx... Bargain of the year I reckon. Unless they are grossly underpowered though....

Price was total EVERYTHING bar RX

And Andy Boy o Boy its not (couldnt resist took about 30mins to put together and its just had its maiden)

Vid to come but here are some pics to get you moist!






One very happy BB

Ok for some more info:

Price 101.49 dollars delivered. Paypay exchange rate was 1.49 so about 68 quid.

Plane is made from EPO (same as the lander Hunter i had)
Loverly scale lines and paint job, (but no pilot so im nicking the one out of the dead Hunter)
No cheeter hole
All servos instaled and centered
Fan Motor and ESC instaled
950mah 3s1p unbranded lipo included
Just a case of glueing the tails and the wing on (I used cyno and kicker took all of 10mins)
CoG was set a little behind where they say (little nobble on the underside) and it flew loverly (look at the launch on the vid) 2 clicks of up trim all that was required, to get the corect CoG (as they say) would have ment alittle surgery on the canopy

All I added to the kit was a Specki 5000 RX

All up weight light!

Flight time of about 4mins with 8% left in the battery so i may go for some 1100`s to imporve the times but to be honest that was enough

HK dont have the full range yet but this will include: F86, L39, F18, F16, AMX. Eurofighter, Hawk, F35, Mig15 thats all thats anouced at the mo but Jpower have promised 20 models in the 50mm Range

M

I have just added THIS to my outstanding order.

ahh thats the bigger one be intresting how that gose!

aww no mini mig in stock i hope they get em in. (hence my comment about halfway through the vid).

Very impressed with this, Mark flew it right from my hand. plenty of power, easily fast enough for such a tiny jet.

Where's this ere video then?

Andy

youtube failed last night, im uploading again now so see what happens, (ive used all my Vemieo space this week)

M

Come on, Chop chop, get it sorted!

Andy

There you go, sorry it keeps going out of frame but betwen my son and Leigh they made abit of a mess of it lol

M

Cool, bloody good VFM

Brilliant. I want one....

We need to teach Brandon to take more shots of the back of your head though....

Cheers Guys, I was soooooo suprised how well it flew, get one ordered Andy

Intrestingly the Saber is the heaviest of the range acording to the spec list so the others should be even better

M

How much room is there in the battery bay, for a bigger battery?
