I accidentally bought the 3s version last year and tried to fly it once and said to myself "NO Way ...!!!" and pulled the ejection handle ... lol
Finally got the new 4s motor & fan assembly

https://www.motionrc.com/products/freewing-64mm-12-blade-edf-power-system-w-2840-2850kv-motor-e7206

I can't seem to get it to fit in properly ... Do i need to swap the duct to the one I took out ???
Opened a ticket because I figured newbies to EDF like myself could use that good advice on how to do the swap.

The new EDFs are larger diameter, you need to take a dremel to the foam. Take off 1-2mm all the way around. You can’t put the new fan in the old shroud either…

[RawFPV]

Where do I take the 1-2mm off exactly ... there is ZERO availability on new fuselage ... Already repaired the nose on this one back to where you can't tell it's been crashed.

[Evan D]

Around the area the fan sets. The whole fan shroud is a few mm larger in diameter. You could try to compress the foam using a knife handle or something like that but dremel in the foam is better.

[RawFPV]

Who wud dare to make a YouTube vid doing that process ....??? lol

[Evan D]

Maybe you wud?


If doing that is too much maybe buying a EDF that will fit is easier for you.

[RawFPV]

I bought the wrong power system [E7206] ...... I was unaware they had a different one [7204] ... thanks for the tip ...
rather going thru the return process I'll do the work to make it fit ... Do you know anyone who had done it with success ???

[Evan D]

I have to other planes but not the F-22.

[RawFPV]

Evan, I did the work and sanded the foam down and made a deeper groove for the EDF .. fits nicely now ...
Do I really need a 40A ESC for that motor?
This is the one that is currently installed ...

[Evan D]

At least 40A. In my Banshee that fan on a fresh charge is 57.14A, 867.9W and produces 980g of thrust. On a 40A ESC... The new reversing 40A ESCs handle it well. The V1 Beatles 60A ESC from Amazon is really good but doesn’t have reverse. But if you are hand launching and belly landing you don’t use reverse and many don’t even with wheels.

Congrats on getting it to fit. I know it’s a pain.
