Thanks

What has been people’s experience trying this on 3300s or 4000s? I had in other forums that as long as they where not looking for speed the light wing loading by allowed for decent flight times at 40%-50% throttle.
A local guy is possibly looking to trade his Avanti S for one of my planes my only hold up is not wanting to get 6s 5000

Regardless of the battery you use, the Avanti S 80 mm is one of, if not, the best sport foam EDF's. Flies and lands like a trainer, yet blows the pants of the Habo and Havok (which was invented and licensed by a good flying buddy of mine-and I always rib him about the Avanti being better than his Havok when I fly it-of course his true version is a huge turbine which ain't too shabby-his company is AeroSports and he is the best turbine jet pilot/designer/builder south of the north pole).Hugh "Wildman" Wiedman

A different idea I just had was build an 8s version by lashing up a pair of 4s batteries. Of course I would have to figure out which motor to use. My idea would be to have to keep the overall wattage and thrust about the same as 6s but allow it to run at a lower amp rating with the higher voltage.

I think if I where to use a motor for a 90mm fan such as 4075-1390kV and run it with an 80mm fan I think a castle HV120 (Which I have on hand) should be all that's needed to run it. In this case its just an example. It would take a lot more research.
I know EDFs are a little different then messing around with prop planes. In a past experiment I had a friend that really liked to play around with power systems and he had found a 12s setup in some 3D planes allowed to get the power on the prop we wanted and allow us to use our 6s 3300 in series vs some really large 6s and 8s setups. The idea in that case was due to have a lot of 6s 3300s since it was what the 60" 3DHS/Extreme Flight planes used. Sadly he's not in the hobby anymore or he would likely try something out like that again for the Avanti.

Info that may be useful. Forgive me if this is redundant or out of place. Correct and/or add whatever you think is needed. Hope this helps.
Batteries & Power
All sellers lie, it is only a question of how bad.
If you assume 50% of the rated C, you should be good.
Higher V - higher price, more weight, cells & power.
Higher A - higher price, more weight & run time.
Higher C - higher price, more weight & power.
Lithium Polymer (There are many types of Lithium.)
Voltage Max 4.20, Dead 3.27, Safe Min 3.71, 3.75 better, Store 3.84
Temp Max 140F, Min 32F, Ideal 110F
Max current available AxC. Max power in Watts VxA
Lo A pack needs higher C to equal same power as hi A pack.
2.5A x 40C = 100A 5A x 20C = 100A
Hi V with Lo A gives same power as Lo V Hi A.
4V x 5A = 20W 8V x 2.5A = 20W
Hi V uses smaller, lighter, less expensive wire and connections.
Hi V uses more expensive ESC. Danger of shock past 50V and will arch.
Run Time
Assuming the pack capacity is accurate, which it is probably low.
Measure the Amp draw at various throttle positions.
Use the ESC rating as the max.
100A ESC / 5A pack = 20 (You need 20C so use a 40C pack.)
60 Min / 20 = 3 Min until DEAD pack (BAD!)
3 Min x .8 = 2.4 Min (2 Min 24 Sec) runtime with 20% reserve.
100A ESC / 3.3A pack = 30.3 (You need 30C so use a 60C pack.)
60 Min / 30.3 = 1.98 Min (1 Min 58.8 Sec) runtime with 20% reserve.
At an average 50A draw, the runtime will be twice.
Roughly 5 Min with a 5A pack and 4 Min with a 3.3A pack.
Brushless Motors
Without brushes there are no wear, bounce, arch and speed/balance problems.
Descent motor bearings can run faster than any fan can withstand.
Silicone insulation 600V-1000V and 482F (302-572F). PVC 221F, Teflon 842F.
Magnet wire insulation 600V-thousands and 221F-428F to as high as 1000F.
Metal melt points: Copper 1984F, Silver 1761F, Aluminum 1220F, Lead 621F, Tin 449F.
Copper wires can be bare, tinned with solder or silver clad.
Solder (If used, usually crimps or welds internally) melt points:
63/37 361F, 60/40 361F-374F, 95/5 450F-464F
Neodymium Iron Boron magnet grade max temp:
N 176F, NM 212F, NH 248F, NSH 302F, NUH 356F, NEH 392F, NAH 428F
Magnet glue max temp:
I don't know about the factory glues.
J-B Weld epoxy 500F
Some people use Loctite 480 (A type of CA/super glue) which is only 180F.
Bearing lube max temp:
160F-180F
Some electric motor grease can go to 500F, but I don't know of any for RC use.
If the heat is kept below 140F, you can safely run any motor VERY hard at higher voltage.
Most will run over 200F at a reduced lifespan. Wattage creates the heat.
The fan shroud needs to be metal to draw heat and not distort. The RPM of the fan
must not be exceeded and of course proper balance is always needed.
Increase fan diameter for more thrust/punch/torque and increase pitch for speed.

Hey all, just wanted to share a couple pics of my Avanti S from this past weekend ... installed a clear canopy, pilot and blacked out the cockpit insert. I have 25 flights on this jet, the last 3 were on grass for the first time and despite sensitive steering issues, it took off and landed with ease! Absolutely in Love with this model and I have nothing but good things to say about it's appearance and flight characteristics ...
