The 59-inch span Me-262 (above left) dwarfs the edf modified Parkzone T-28 Trojan sitting next to it. Twin 70mm fans on a single 4S pack provide sprightly performance. The Schwalbe(Swallow) (above right) flies again in the Arizona sky. Just a sampling of the edf planes at the Arizona Jet Rally (below left). The only turbine in this photo is the BVM red and yellow KingCatnear the front of the flight line. Electric models are here, and whether they are a 3-cell foamie or a
12S MB-339, they just seem to work. Larry Wolfe’s Jet Hangar North American FJ Fury (below right) reaches for the runway. Originally designed for the Turbax and a 7–7.5cc glow engine, edf has given even greater levels of performance to these smaller models. Lightweight layups allow the use of the electric version of the Turbax fan, or, in this case, a 90mm WeMoTec Midifan with excellent flight characteristics.
Chris Wolfe departs with his 72-inch span Panther prototype (above left). An e-Turbax provides the push with power to spare. Ladies and gentlemen! Please look to show center as our Starmax F-5 (above right) retracts its landing gear before performing a stunning aerobatic display. Clark Hans’ own-designed
Russian “fighter” (below left) blasts past using a 90mm fan unit for push. Clark calls it the “YakSuMigski”. Another shot (below right) shows off more of the clean lines of his Depron™ masterpiece, and the smooth integration of the retracts into the fuselage without adding unnecessary complexity.
