Scratch Built RC F-35 Lightning II EDF jet

This is my first model that is using EDF or Electric Ducted Fan. I choose the C variant of F-35 aircraft, mainly because it has bigger wing, I wanted to make sure that it will have enough wing area to fly. In this model I also share with you couple new things beside by using EDF alone. I share how to make a clear canopy and using servo driven retractable landing gear. The landing gear was bought from Banggood for about 10 dollars a long time ago. What I learned by using EDF is, it's pretty expensive if compare with pusher prop and will fly in a shorter time. I only have effectively 2,5 minutes to fly the jet, the rest is prepare for landing. You have to use 4S 2200mah with minimum 60C discharge rate, otherwise you will have a damaged battery after the first flight. Also EDF models need a decent paved and long runway. If you can access one, EDF jet is amazing.

Congrats on an excellent scratch build, Julius! It looks excellent and flies well, especially for your first jet! We mass produce them at Motion RC, but I love seeing a modeler plan, execute, and fly an aircraft created by his/her own hands! Some of the best moments in this Hobby are when seeing something you created fly for the first time (and land safely). Thanks for sharing with us your process! I look forward to seeing your next project! Again, well done, bravo!

[@tomheetderks9997]

I love the designs you and MRC do, and I own many Freewing jets. But nothing compared to designing my own HE 162 and realizing on the maiden flight that it actually flew very well, my first scratch build jet! Will you guys ever consider a business jet? The airliner was a huge success..I hope a business jet comes down the pipeline. or a king Air, that would be something!

[@hefeibao]

Kudos to the stormtrooper helmet on the shelf. Looks like it needs a little loving care though. LMK Julius if you need a contact and I can hook you up. That aside, what I most appreciate is how do-able and affordable this is for a normal person. When I look at other F35 builds these guys have jet engines and the $$ and time they put in is daunting. You are using more affordable materials and tools that everyone has sitting at home. Your design also seems more forgiving for people like me who don't have any talent in making things with their hands. Thanks so much - I will have to give this a try!
