First off thanks Marco Polo for starting this thread, i only stumbled upon this thread this morning.
I will definitely be following this thread as my number one interest in the RC community as a whole.
Marco Polo: "If you like the idea, post your wish list in terms of type of plane, wingspan, EDF size, scale features, color schemes, etc. Throw out any idea, big or small"
Tengarang:
Minimum requirements
EDF type: 64mm 12 blade
EDF Count: twin, tri, quad all ok. I prefer a 7478i , DC-10 , 787 , 757, 767, 737 727 Tristar L-1011... you get the picture.
Battery: Twin 4s 4000mah 45C (8000mah capacity total)
Wingspan: 1500mm - 2000mm to fit in most SUV's. Bonus if the airplane can fit without disassembling the wing. Just like the flightline B-24 @ 2000m the fuse is short so the plane can be loaded in sideways with the wings in tact.
Retracts: scale
flaps: scale
lights: scale
Price range 500usd to 1K shipped to lower 48 states
Preferred requirements
EDF type: 80mm 12 blade
EDF Count: twin, tri, quad all ok. I prefer a 7478i , DC-10 , 787 , 757, 767, 737 727 Tristar L-1011... you get the picture.
Battery: Twin 6s 5000mah 45C (10,000mah capacity total)
Wingspan: 1500mm - 200mm to fit in most SUV's. Bonus if the airplane can fit without disassembling the wing. Just like the flightline B-24 @ 2000m the fuse is short so the plane can be loaded in sideways with the wings in tact.

My Youtube Channel:
I own the Tian Sheng Models A380 with 55mm 5 blade outrunner as well as the supreme hobbies A340-600 50mm Xrp fan with outrunner 10 or 11 blade
aerial photos of my A380
aerial hotos of my A340-600
If i had a choice and if this would be feasible for Motion RC in all aspects for launching this campaign, then i would prefer a 7478i or DC-10.
Schemes are not really a big issue since we have Callie helping us all

Thats going to limit the number of EDF units you can have. Probably to 2.
How about this idea, 4 engine jet with only 2 EDF units. Has two dummy pods.
Then if someone wants higher performance, they can put in 2 more EDF's.Super Airliner, Corsair, Viper, BAE Hawk, L-39, A-6, PC-21, B-25, T-28, GeeBee, Wildcat, Stinson, F-16, F-4

I agree also with everything else you said regarding counts mentioned :)

This thread has become more interesting. From what I have been reading it looks like the 747 and the DC-10 are the top two candidates for a new line of EDF airliners.
The idea of a 747 with just twin EDF's is the same idea I had about the DC-10 except it could be sold as a Twin or Tri EDF versions with the twin being up-gradable later to a Tri. Same as the 747 it could be sold as a twin or quad version.
They both would have several potential variants to make them more viable to sell well. My favorite being the KC-10 with a working refueling boom.
747- Airliner
- Air force one
- Shuttle carrier
DC-10- Airliner
- Fuel tanker (KC-10)
- Fire fighting tanker

Happy Monday to all.
I am planning to modify my TianSheng Models A380 sold by Hobbyking using the Eflite Super Airliner Nacelles (65mm)
(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ZXGMAQ)
To incorporate the 12 blade Ebay Fan 3500KV QX outrunner, and run 3s.
(https://www.amazon.com/XCSOURCE-12-B...2blade+64mm+QX)
The modification should give significant power boost as well as efficiency and better sound.
standard power supply used 4000mah 55C 3s China hobby line G+ (Graphene equivalent)
One of the main motivations for making this mod aside from the reasons mentioned above is of the brittle stock EDF rupturing on ROG take off. The ebay fans are much more robust and will not break that easily.
Best Wishes

I found this interesting video of an old Shuttle test flight were they did the same thing.
