      • It’s been so quiet, RCJetdude, I think my prediction of Project Foil being a Vulcan must be right. Alpha, give us a “sounds like” clue!

            • If all goes according to Hoyle, the next edf will be a 80mm F/A-18. Why? FMS just introduced their 70mm version. Think Tigercat, Avanti, Hawk, A-10, Yak-130, etc. Tit for Tat .
              Currently flying: Twin 80mm A-10, 80mm F5, 80mm A6, 70mm Yak-130, 70mm F-16v2,90mm Stinger 90, 70mmRC Lander F9F, Flightline F7F TigerCat, Phoenix 46 size Tucano, Flyzone L-39
              Out of Service: 80mm Mig-21,64mm F-35, 64mm F/A-18
              I Want: 80mm A-4, twin 80mm F4J Phantom

              • I'm trying to think along the lines of A-4, F-8, B-24, F-105, F-4 LOL

                Comment


                • I still think it may be a North American F-100 Super Saber. A sword or saber can also called a “foil” for fencing. Just a thought.......

                    We've been foiled before so maybe its in the works

                      Dude it would fly just fine without the tail- I own a B-2 and it works great...
                      Just let me fly so I may be free

                        VULCAN would be awesome... XB-70 would be good, B-1 would be good - a B-58 would be awesome but unlikely.

That's the only thing that keeps me away, other guys at my field have them, I just hope someone can keep updating the technology so at some point we can see times close to 8-10 minutes.
                            After 3-4 minutes of EDF flying I am usually ready to land...LOL

                              That would depend on the type of EDF you are referring. My Tech One Neptune EDF w/2200mah batts will easily do 12min w/power & gliding. And they're quite inexpensive & very rugged. Radar speed with mine in a downwind dive into level flight at 85mph. It also can handle 20mph winds. Lotsa fun.....

                                • Sure would like to see MRC do some investigating onto some of the classic airplanes. There's enough warbirds & jets already. How about some 1600-2000mm planes like the Lockheed Vega? A Beech Super 18? A Westland Lysander? The Ryan NYP= Spirit of St. Louis? A 1400mm+ SE5A? or a couple other WW1 bipes? A V-Tail Beech Bonanza? These are the kinds of planes that don't have issues with grass fields.

                                  • There’s a few I can push to the coveted 5 min mark but only a few. Hopefully, there are some chemical engineers working on the next battery chemistry. Wasn’t that long ago when lipo replaced nicad. Most of the foam edf’s today would not be able to fly on nicads. Just not enough goo and way too heavy.

                                    So, thanks to the lipo developers for enabling and supporting our addiction. I’m hopeful there’s a game changer coming.

                                    • There was an interesting article in the latest edition of Model Airplane News about a new battery technology being developed. Very interesting read but still a ways off.

                                      • They are constantly refining the LiPo. 3S 2000 size packs are much smaller, lighter and can deliver higher current than when I got my first LiPos appx 10 years ago. And the price has dropped significantly.

                                        ESCs are also getting better (mostly the firmware) Its not long since Castle released a firmware update (that works on 6+ yr old ESCs) that significantly increases the ESC's ability to drive the motors to higher rpm with lower heat produced in the ESC. More actual useful power from the motor for the same watts.
                                        (That Castlelink thingy is well worth having)
                                        FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.

                                        current planes from 1/2 oz to 22 lbs

                                          I read that also and yes it sounded like they were a ways away from having something usable but also sounded promising. The article seemed to give the impression that the future batteries might be smaller lighter more stable(less flammable) and have considerably more capacity.
