Hey does anyone know what thrust the 80mm fan and motor in the Avanit produces?

Hey does anyone know what thrust the 80mm fan and motor in the Avanit produces?

One post I read said a static thrust of 5.5 lbs.

i made a new plate in 3d printing to secure the ailerons, no need to use screw, just glue it ...

Flydown, that would be about the same as I think I read about the Eflite DV32. I have a new Avanti flying great. I have lost two but have the power units. I would like to use them in something. It seems bare bones Avanti's are never in stock so looking for something else to put the motors and fans in.

Hmmm, the whole idea of the plates is to not rely on glue.

i don t understand what you mean, could you be more explicit please

The entire reason for using the plates with the screws is because the glue fails on the original control horns. There would be no point in gluing the plates on.

now the glue will be between the plate and the aileron, not in the horn, the glued surface is bigger ...
and you have the choice with screw or glue ...

Just wanted to share a few pics of the color change that I did to my Avanti.
For me, I would have a problem seeing the yellow at times depending on the
clouds in the background. I have a plane that's called the Rare Bear and it came
from the factory with the floresent orange wings and a purple body. The
florescent orange is very easy to see in the sky, thus I painted the Avanti
florescent orange on the top side and left the bottom yellow.

Enjoy! Cheers.... and Blue Skies to ya...:f4phantom

That looks awesome!
I also like orange on my planes. (own the rare bear too) ;)
I also purchased the Oakley Prizm trail sunglasses, it makes the orange glow, even if the plane is far away... :Smug:

TopGun wonderful work!

Hey Guys and Gals,

Here is a picture of the paint that I used to change the color on my Avanti.
Pictures of the plane are at post 1814.
Thanks for your comments. Im just an old guy trying to keep sight of my
Avanti in the sky. At the moment, I am the only person at my field with the
Avanti. There are a few that are thinking about getting one, I keep telling
them they won't be sorry if they do. This is a great plane.

Cheers... and Blue Skies to ya.....:f4phantom

I finally got around to shooting a hat cam video of my Avanti today. Didn't come out too awful bad really. Still, best when viewed at full screen.
Not one of my better landings but the rest of the flight worked well for the camera.
