F-16 70mm EDF, and the Edge 540T

I’ve got to pay my respects to my favorite EDF, FMS’s 70mm F-16, this plane flies like an arrow. It was a little underpowered and the center of gravity is sensitive (you couldn’t change it much without negative consequences) but those are my only complaints. It has great slow flight characteristics and it was pretty fast, it definitely was a crowd pleaser.

I sold it and replaced it with Exceed RC’s Concept X, it is more powerful with my 4s configuration but that’s where the advantages end. The Concept X with the 4cell battery is a little too heavy for the small wing, the slow flight characteristics are horrible, and it is too much to pack in the airplane, there isn’t a lot of extra room. The overall construction is not as robust, the Concept X won’t handle too many touch n’ goes without braking something.

Here is another fun little airplane the Edge 540T, we have thrown a DT-750 motor in it so it packs a punch.
