Electric jets

[RS4rally1124]

so far i only own 1 plane. it is a p-51 with a .079. i have a lot of experiance with electric equiptment and i was wondering if anyone knew of a good elec jet and about how fast it will go.

i want it to be ducted fan. i have so far only seen 1 and it was using a size 300 motor and fan unit. any information will be much apreciated and i would especially like to know price and speed averages.

thanks alot

look at hobby-lobby.com, they have Corsair and F-16 electric jets, and the planes use speed 280 sized motors, or brushless motors that size. There are videos of the planes in flight too.

I hate to say this, but Hobby Lobby's Jet's are a pain in the butt.. Looks good in video though, but that all it's good for..

No offence intended CAFplanekid.

GWS fans are good:) but I wish GWS's next project will be a jet, next time around;)

You want good Jet's right?

I've seen the Watt-age F-22's maiden flight just the other day (t'was mine.:p ) it flew right out the box, it flew good, but needs a little more power, it wasn't under, it was in bet. not slow, and not fast either.

I think the fuselage needs a little more sanding, than the stock framed fused that it comes with, because w/n it comes to jet's, specially meant for parkflying the bulkness of the fuse has to be sanded down to where a possible drag is eliminated towards the prop. w/c gives it the proper push.

I hope that helps, and good luck. I hope you find your dream Jet, and write about it here someday:)

yours,

Anyone ever thought about modding the F-22 with a new fan? or maybe a speed 480?

Foam + 480 = Weight penalty. You can get away with by upgrading your motor, but you have to increase your battery capacity, and have a good right arm.

Hope that helps:)

not really a jet, but does have jet in it's name.
not ducted fan either, but will blow any DF out the water! Have a look.

Darenm,

Ohhhh!! Yes:cool: The projeti, a friend of mine has one. Yes!!!! it's faster than the Zagi w/ Mega 4T 5x5 prop. The fuse is sanded down all the way to the fuse to eliminate the drag once the air get's to the prop.

I have one, just haven't flow it yet! Too busy building Warbirds.

I just flew my Python.. Super Fast 105 mph w/ Mega 3T.:)

I will probably fly it if the weather change. The Projeti can take serious wind conditions. It really rocks the sky..

***not really a jet, but does have jet in it's name. ***

It can make a Jet look stupid:D (jk) I have an old Hobby Lobby F-16 that it can haul 85 mph:( the Projeti on the other hand can go beyond that speed w/ a BL motor.

I would recomend the Projeti, nice plane:)

[RS4rally1124]

thanks you guys it has been a tremendous help all these links. what i originally wanted a elec jet for was scale appeal. now i am thinking the Projeti is just lloking too sweat.

i have two questions
1. what size motor does it use

2. does it include that motor

all right i lied can i also use my rccar esc for this airplane?

Thanks

You can check out Bob Parkinsons jets at www.rcjets.com Bob is a friend of mine. I've been flyng his Regal Eagle for years & come to think about it I have a F-18 of his in the basement too, anyway, Bob has an electric twin Royal Eagle F-15 that is a smaller version of the Regal Eagle DF model. I don't know the speed of it, but understand it's fast enough for most flyers. Email Bob & ask him Q's about it. Tell him Bill SR-71 Project from Michigan sent you. I'm sure he will be happy to answer all your questions. Cost of the jet is $229.00 USD.

Another player in the field is at www.jethangar.com they have 2 EDF offerings a skyray and a tomcat. Kinda expensive but you get what you pay for these days.
