I am looking at the 90mm and 120mm edf units but do not know if the quality is there. Anybody have experience with these units. I saw RC Informer did some videos and they looked pretty good.

I own a 90mm JP power system as well and it has been phenomenal. It has been balanced with precision, well engineered and manufactured, light, durable, and performs great. It does have a unique sound (some love it and others don't), and it can be finicky with various ESC and their settings. Do enough ground testing to ensure that the power system runs smoothly with whatever ESC and timing setting you decide to use, as incorrect ESC timing with outrunner they use tends to make the motor skip and not run smoothly throughout the RPM range.

T-Cat's Stinger 90 does really well on that JP fan! As he said, plan to tinker with settings. It may not be an issue with your setup, or it might. Difficult to predict. But worth the effort.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

At first I thought it was too quiet and metallic sounding, but it definitely grew on me and it seems to impress a lot more people than it deters.
It also produces the most white noise out of any fan I've tried, that's for sure. A 120mm JP would surely sound killer!

Ha-ha, it's definitely a unique sound. There definitely isn't much middle ground with people who hear it. They either absolutely fall in love, or are grossed out, LOL. I personally don't mind it at all, and like you said, more people say they love it than don't. Performance is my number one priority, and sound follows down the list.
You guys be the judge. :)

The 70mm is a blast. It's less aggressive in the current department, but makes a heck of a fun plane, especially on a efficiently ducted one (even foam). I love 70mm jets for their small size, transportability, power to weight ratio (not loaded down with all the fun bling of the larger jets), smaller investment, and still look good doing it. It sounds better to me than my 90mm, LOL.

That thing sounds GREAT!!! I have the Freewing 8S set up in my T-45, and the performance seems to be about the same, though it is hard to determine by looking at a video. At almost 100 dollars cheaper, with similar performance, I think I will stick with Freewing though!!! Love the Valkyrie by the way, looks pretty sweet!!
