Plan modified for a 70mm EDF All cut and ready to be glued and sanded. Hopefully will have a four cell setup after load test.

This time the wing and nose is cut with 8mm Depron. If load test thrust is good with 4S it is going to have a KFm2 also in the wings.

Last one made same but with 64 mm GWS EDF with brushless setup 3 cell was also a super flyer

Build progress is going too slow. However some updates

This time the wing span has been  increased by about an inch and the chord also increased by an inch. It has a 70 mm EDF though the wattage on four cell is much less at only 450. Therefore the KFm2 is off however the 8mm foam on the wing has been sanded to a thin airfoil with smooth rounded leading edge and sharp tapering trailing edge.

The fuse is also going to be smoothly rounded. Which will definitely contribute to overall lift.

Finally completed today. This has a 650 watts 70 mm EDF on four cell setup. AUW has gone up to nearly 950 gms. The wing has Kfm 2 airfoil. The ailerons are on flaperon mode with flap trimable and elevator to flap mixing when required through switch. The CG has been moved up by three CM since unlike a flat plate,  the well shaped airfoil along with KFM2 is going to produce good lift. Further since also has  adjustable flaps.

Sir which amp battery are you using ? The setup must be draining the battery soon.

Thanks Manoj,

Its Turnigy Nano tech 4S 2200mah. I am expecting 4 min flight time with vigorous flying and more on docile flying.

Great build Sundaram sir - its more looks like an ARF with the paint work! you are always both the inspiration and 'Teaser' for many here on the forum.

Having 4 balsa builds still on my workbench in different stage of completion(and 2 self cut kits in the box) , I dare not start on a foamie!! But having all the parts already including EDF/printout, and Bandit being top of the list, I think it is irresistible to start this one finally.  The effort:pleasure ratio of Foamies is unprallel, specially after my scratch build Sift KESL giving  biggest bang for the effort/money!!

Keep this thread alive with updates! should inspire many

<Edit>
Sundaram sir, could you please post a clearer picture of the Elevator setup ? The split elevator look interesting!

It is a very simple mechanism where both elevators are connected to same servo using flexible push-rod sleeve snake. The placement of the servo is such a way that both surfaces have equal throw. In this case since it does not require large throw it is working perfectly. In fact it is on 50% DR and -60% Expo. So no great worries.

Superb built sundaram sir. The paint makes it look more fierce and deadly. Harbinger of destruction. :thumbsup:
Awseome.

Thanks Dr Khanna,

I was hoping unlike the last model this one will light the sky on fire  ;) So the colour scheme.  ;D

Bro can u please send a pdf file for the templates of the jet on ""

Thanx :hatsoff:

bijo

can you share the blue print the built is very good

I can send you the original Steave shumate version which is for a 50 mm EDF. I had modified it for 64mm by increasing fuse height and width.

What's the static thrust on that edf with a 3s???
Power consumption??
Also try installing afterburners....there is a vid by flitetest of how to do it...
Don't use butane ..try using cigarette lighters....
I wanna do one...but my edf from bangood ain't delivered yet....so waiting....
