Wow~ It's so great 👍

Chris. Looking good my friend. Jets that size need a real turbine. But the EDF version is really nice. I just wish the lipo technology could be improved to get a little more flight time. Not just for this jet but for the others too. Just when it starts to get real fun you have to land and swap out the energy source. lol. Great flying you did there. Smooth operator. 👍👍👋😊

It’s hard to beat turbines for flight time. That said, I have edfs getting over 5 minutes of mixed flying. However, these are the jets I’ve build with extremely clean inlet systems. There’s a lot of drag in this one that’s not helping. Plus, a more efficient fan would help as well.

As always you did a great job reviewing the model. I wish you were my neighbor. Problems I see with the model is as follows - Incomplete cockpit an no pilot. When you spend 1300 bucks for a plane I would not expect to see exposed servos and pushrods like you would see on a cheep foamy. If I had one of these I think my club members would be jealous. As it is I'm jealous of them with their digital FPV from the cockpit EDF jets. Love them.

@Thercgeek

I hear you. Unfortunately the best way to get hidden control linkages is to build your own airframe as most arfs these days, even the very expensive ones, have exposed linkages. I’m speaking in generalities of course, but this is generally the case these days.

@@Thercgeek There aren't that many companies competing for business. I think one of them will do one of two things. One being surface finish and detail and the other eliminating exposed servos. This one the surface looks pretty decent. Nothing looks worse to me than an exposed servo in a vertical fin. Yikes!

If you engage your breaks before lading they will not lock you get a nice roll out

On mine I trimmed the tail end of the thrust tube to match the fuselage. Looks better that way I think.

@@Thercgeek no worries Chris! All the help is worth the wait! I used your mix for the viper and it works 100% perfect for me! Did you use additional material to seal the engine area ?

Loved the wing cam and the assembly montage! I imagine a lot of camera work went into that. I've heard a lot of complaints about the viper being a bad airframe for edfs. The inlets aren't large enough for edfs and are better suited for turbines. Have you noticed that with this airframe or the viper?

@aerospacematt9147

2 жыл бұрын

Viper has relatively larger intakes than the MB-339. The Horizon Hobby Vipers (70 and 90mm) both don’t have Cheater Vents, but this one does, it needs them, because the inlets are so small

@Thercgeek

2 жыл бұрын

@cool5tuff the Viper jet is a great candidate for edf. The mdb339 is more challenging since the inlets are so small. That’s mitigated here through the aux air vents which is functional, but not ideal. The model flies really sweet though!

Hi, did you use a life or lipo receiver battery, and what esc and motor? I have one without the power system and I was wondering what to get. Also, are you able to link that adapter from the two batteries into the esc for the 12 power. I’m not sure what to get for that either.

Is this more of a scale flyer or a sport jet? She knife edge well? Awesome video as always thanks!

@Thercgeek

Жыл бұрын

Thanks! Based on the power system, I’d say it’s more a scale flyer. With a more efficient fan system in there, it would make for more of a sport flyer.

Hey Chris how’s things......thanx for all the great videos. What are your thoughts on this Standard Remote ID that they want to enforce in 6 weeks time.Many feel that this is going to destroy our hobby and that it means the end of BNF & PNF models. What are your thoughts on this.

@Thercgeek

2 жыл бұрын

Well, I’m not aware of something impending in 6weeks time, but frankly I don’t see how they could possibly enforce any of that right now and I don’t even think the technology is even there yet. Maybe for the drones themselves, but not for recreational airplanes. Ultimately, what will keep this hobby going will the FRIA’s. Those are designated areas for recreational flying only which are essentially all of the local clubs that are already in existence and under the umbrella of the ama.

I got the same model. I'm converting it to a X45 Turbine. The EDF version is $400 cheaper than the turbine one and I have pipe and tank to make it go.

@Thercgeek

The x45 would be a great, light weight choice for this model. That’s a really impressive engine. Excellent thrust at an extremely small size.

@jamesvaliensi7706

@@Thercgeek Do you think the air intakes are even needed? The hole in the bottom of the fuselage is big enough for a X45. I may try blocking off the wing intakes and see what happens. It would be less drag during flight.

@Thercgeek

2 жыл бұрын

If it were me, for the turbine install, I’d look at closing up all of the external air grates and just pull air in from the intakes only. That would be the most ideal IMO to reduce the drag. Use the inlets for their intended purpose and close up all the extra holes, haha

I’m looking to purchase the pnp version. I was going to install a As3x safe receiver. Is this jet worth the money and can you buy spare parts if needed in a crash

@Thercgeek

Жыл бұрын

It’s a nice looking and good flying jet. I’m honestly not sure regarding the spare parts. It appears that banana hobby has a good selection of spare parts. Looks like the model is on sale at the moment which is a pretty good price for the model. It’s complete and the components are good, and they include jp hobby brakes with it. It does take a bit of work to get together, but nothing too insurmountable.

@Thercgeek

Honestly, that is a loaded question. If you’re looking for the fastest airframe, it’s going to end up being a purpose built composite jet because the foam designs aren’t designed very efficiently. That being said, I think the fastest foam edf I’ve flown to date is the eflite 90mm viper jet.
