Download plans available on the Flite Test forum thread: forum.flitetest.com/showthread.php?26169-I-want-to-fly-an-A-4-at-Flite-Fest The new curved model IS the latest model, and you can put a 12-blade or a 6-blade fan in it. Sorry I forgot the link at first, it is also posted in the description now.
man oh, man. I love that. Not sure which fan I like better. Do you notice any performance difference between the two? Will be building one of these for sure.
I EXPECTED there to be a difference, but I honestly couldn't really tell when I flew. There must be SOME difference, but it obviously wasn't striking enough to stick in my memory. The sound+performance of the 12-blade easily squashes the 6-blade installation.
Okay Cool, that was a little hard to tell on the video. If the 12 blade sounds better I will be going with that for sure. Once I get to building it, I'll put up video over on our channel we are just starting out, but I like documenting things so I can go back and view them at a later date. I was really impressed with this jet and I'm leaning more towards the EDF side of things now and look forward to getting this one out to the field.
That's pretty dang good. 6 blade don't sound too bad at all. Interesting the 12 blade has a bit more whine with the restriction lowered and thrust (amount of moving air) increased.
Nice job avoiding FODing your engine with a bird. I think I would have to sacrifice a little thrust and go with the 12 blade. That sound is so sweet. I like the rounded look of your updated A-4. A-4 or F-5...crud I will make both.
You don't have to choose! The new latest plans are for the rounded-nacelle, and it will take the 12-blade just fine! I just had the 12-blade already in the 'old' airframe, and put the 6-blade in the new one for testing. In fact, I will be ripping the 6-blade out, swapping in the 12-blade and recycling the old airframe. EDIT: LOL - I misunderstood your comment....yes, make both! :D
