Ā Not too pricey, but the shipping is a deal breaker. I have an F-22 abd F-35 on the way. They both run in on a 50mm edf(electric ducted fanā¦ think turbine) and sound like legit jets.

Still, to buy that model anywhere else, is likely closer to $400. The price of these things is just insane. Theyāre all foam and plastic, with a couple small high rpm motors. Someone is making a KILLING. The key is to jump on them when places like AliExpress have free shipping.Ā Ā psā¦. Ā Twin 50mm edfāsā¦. If theyāre 12 blade fans, that thing will do 120mph.

I donāt think itāll go quite as fast, until I upgrade the fans. But Iām still a novice at this. I have probably three months before. Iāll be ready to fly this thing. things getĀ really fast when theyāre up to about 90 mm. Some of those guys can push 200. I believe this Habu 90 mm hit 208 miles an hour Then thereās the other side of the coin. Some of the lighter planes are intended to go long distance. Theyāre flown via GPS and the camera mounted in the nose. Some of the longest distances they pushed it been about 100 km and a single battery. I think Iām really going to enjoy flying this guy. Itās a hobby that has so many options. I havenāt even thought about helicopters or amphibious vehicles yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
