My F-117V2 & 1st Scratch Build

My first scratch built foamboard build and I chose Paul's F-117V2. My only foamboard experience has been with building kits from Flite Test. I bought some sort of black generic foamboard from Hobby Lobby because that was all they had. The foam is much denser and heavier than what I'm used to. It's also very rigid and impossible to shape. Anyway say hello to "Miss America". 738g w/ 2200kv motor, 6x4.5 prop., 50A ECS, 9g servos, and 3S 2200mah Lipo. I hope she actually flies and I won't have to rename her "Miss Piggy"

Thanks Pete. I use a Spectrum DX6e radio with a Spectrum AR620 receiver. No problems at all.

Decent Radio

I am building the FF-117V2 but currently do not have a radio for it. I want a decent radio that will work for this plane but also don't want to spend a fortune. Any recommendations on something decent (not junk) that I should look at for this model? So, many to choose from but I just don't know enough to make sure I am getting what I need without buying MORE than I need. Thanks!!!

FF-117V2 with an EDF??

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.
