      Not a big fan of the EDF's I've flown and seen. Yeah, they go like a bat out of hell, but slowing them down to land sucks. I had a DeHaviland Vampire EDF from HobbyKing.com, and it flew great. Until I stalled it in a turn because it didn't like to go slow. A friend of mine had a Stinger EDF from the same website, which looked very similar to the ones you linked. It flew great, until it got out of range of his transmitter and crashed. I really like the aerobatic planes, the ones that hang on the prop and flip and roll and flat spin and such. I've also been building my own out of Dollar Tree foam. Most of the plans I've built come from http://www.parkjets.com/. The thrust vectoring tabs make them do some wicked stunts. Plus they're so light I can throttle back, with full up elevator, and catch them out of the air if necessary.

        Jeremy......

        ....you are just no help at all. :roflmao:

        I see that I linked to the jets......

        I meant to link to the home page.......some of the battery powered prop trainers & bi-wings look V interesting.

        I am sure a jet engine craft would have quite the short life span in my hands!

              The "plane" truth is, some people just can't stay in control.

              What you DON'T say may be held against you...

                I should hunt you down and make you use your credit card on this stuff.

                Why did I have to click that link?!

                    That's what Bill does best....

                    Bill: I need a new Power Conditioner.
                    Me: End up with a PS Audio P10, my APC unit goes to Bill.

                    Bill: I need new speakers, builds himself NatPs....
                    Me: I hear them, want to upgrade, FORCED to go to B&W 802Dis

                    Bill: I need to upgrade my NatP speakers.
                    Me: Starts building a set of NatPs.

                    Bill: I found out this new beer, I'm hooked
                    Me: Buying expensive beer now, can't go back to the cheap stuff.

                    There's a pattern here I'm starting to see.... I think...

                    LMAO!!!

                    Actually... for all the good company and food he's given me... I wouldn't change anything in the world. Bill is one of the best guys anyone could ever know!

                      Me: Now wadda-ya think?
                      Dan: Sounds Nice! You know, a stand-alone DAC would let you play all those Hi-Res files.....

                              Bill, those are toys. A man of your status needs one of these:

                                  No need to open your wallet for that toy. You just need to get to a flight school, spend 3+ years learning to fly, spend another 3+ years teaching people to fly making less than minimum wage, get hired by a commuter airline for 5+ years and never be home, then get lucky enough to be hired by only 4 companies in the country that are worth working for, all to actually fly one of these. After all of that, you will probably realize that it would have been better to become an engineer and just purchase a RC plane in the first place.....
                                  BE ALERT! The world needs more lerts.
