Nice job on the chute, Steve!

Here's a photo of Evelyn and the F-4 in the Mojave Desert.

Looks like that plane is as big as she is. I wish I could enjoy flying edfs, I really like this one.:Straight-Face:

Anyone working on a 3d printed "E" conversion ?

I'm working with TheRCGeek on an E conversion kit. If it works, it will be quite complicated. The nose gear door assembly is completely different. I'm also coordinating with AirSally, who in my opinion is one of the very best fiberglass craftsmen in the business.

These things will take time to research, develop, and get right. So for now, no promises.

I can say with assurity though that Freewing and I decided to create a 3DP exhaust nozzle set for the F-4, based on strong demand. Stay tuned for more info.

With burners? :)

[Elbee]

Alpha, will these nozzles be hardware for purchase or a 3dpup file to be distributed? Elbee

Steve that drag chute is SPOT ON! You never seize to amaze.

Steve, love the drag chute! That looks awesome. Looking forward to seeing you get it installed and working.

Got my JF90 set up yesterday. Now I just need an airframe to stick it in! :)

I appreciate this, and may just get this set regardless as I recently ordered a dual 64mm afterburner ring set and with the current nozzles it looks like it might take some significant modification to get it to work. Do you happen to have any measurements of the current nozzles? Would the 3DP nozzles have any increased diameter, or just increased detail? Thanks Alpha.

Chris (The RC Geek) is working on an afterburner system that bolts directly onto the back of the Freewing EDF housing. These should be available for 80mm setups shortly, but I do know he is getting his hands on a 90mm setup this week to develop one for that as well. I've seen test versions of the 980mm, and it is very bright. Can't wait until he starts selling these. I have several 80mm setups that I will be getting, and I will get one for the F-4 once they are available for 90mm.

[purduephigam]

Yes, I was chatting with him about the 80mm outrunner setups. Based on the progress of how things are going with this, I wouldn't assume a 90mm setup would be in the works just yet, let alone ready for production. I agree though, these things are the real deal!

[crxmanpat]

A friend of mine is shipping him a Freewing 90mm unit today I think, so it is something Chris will be working on eventually. At least I hope so. ;)

I am looking to get my first EDF soon as my next model purchase. After a long debate it looks like the Freewing Hawk T1 70mm EDF is the best military style jet trainer to start with that is currently being offered.
I am hoping that should prepare me to fly the mighty F-4 someday.

What is it about EDF's you don't like? Maybe we can convert you...
