I am thinking about making a version of the FF-117V2 with a 70mm or 50mm EDF... Has anyone else made an EDF FF-117V2 on their own yet? If so, how did it work out for you?
Here is a video of the FF-117V2 50mm EDF plane flying on a 5S Battery! The Dr. Mad Thrust 50mm EDF is listed for use with a 4S battery, but I decided to push it a bit and try a 5S battery. It definitely gave the plane more power and better flying characteristics. The Amp and watt draw was a little over what the motor is rated at but not by too much. I think as long as I don't constantly stay at full throttle it will be Ok to use the 5S battery.
