- RETRO GLOW IC Ducted Fan JET | Yellow Aircraft F-4 Phantom | OS91 DF engine | Dynamax fan
Adam keeps the memory of ICDF powered jets alive with the maiden flight of this awesome F4 Phantom.
This Phantom is a Yellow Aircraft kit which has polyester fuselage and glassed cloth wings tails and canards. Built by Adam in 2021. Has six JR servos and was painted using Tamiya paint. It uses an OS91 DF engine with a Dynamax fan and a Weston UK mini twin outlet pipe. Irvine straight fuel and no nitro added. Spring air retracts for undercarriage. Adam uses a Spektrum DX18 for guidance.
Filmed by Dom for the 'Essential RC' RUclips channel using the Panasonic HC-X2 4K camcorder.

Old school. I remember these well. A local club I flew at had a die hard nitro flyer that would bring an Northrup F5 to the field. Some days it would snarl to life in an instant, others times it needed incessant fettering to make it work. Always a treat to see it go when it did.
Do you happen to know if the kit was a VMAR F5? I have one new in box I'm planning a OS91 for
Awesome video thank you for sharing Working on 3 yellow aircraft starfires myself can't wait to get them in the air this Spring
I had a OS.77 with a Byron fan unit In a Bob Parkinson's F-15 Regale Eagle introduction Jet many years ago... That jet flew pretty good for it's time... Clicked out at 120mph at the 1st Superman fan fly in metropolis Illinois...
I still have 2 brand NEW K&B .82s NEVER RUN with tuned pipes with 2 NEW Dyna Fan Units... EVERYTHING is still NIB... I bought them to use in my 1/12th scale SR-71 Blackbird but went with Turbine units instead... May be up for sale this summer as soon as I get back home and get things sorted out... Getting older and probably will never use them???
I suspect Adam Birmingham would be interested if you get in touch with him.
@@EssentialRC Not sure who Adam is??? What does he do??? I only ran across this feed because it popped up on my page for some reason!!! LOL
@@wms7795Howdy, I live in Utah. I'm interested in your k&b with dyna fans. I'll bet the Blackbird is pretty cool.
I may be interested in what you have left as well
Find me an RC groups Warbirds F4U1A
Wow that is so cool to see and hear. In Australia there was a company called Trim Aircraft. They manufactured a DF unit called the Ramtec. I believe it was quiet popular overseas so there were a good number of exports. They also manufactured a number of DF models. I recall one of them was the Trim Aircraft Spectre.
You have it all correct. Tony Roessen, the force of Trimair, made the Ramtec and also the Spectre. I have a Ramtec powered Spectre. It is electric powered though.
Still got a 91 and a ramtech
Absolutely a gem. Nice to see they're still about and in use. I was surprised to read in the description that there was no nitro in the fuel, but yet it still seemed to perform very well.
Why would there be zero nitro in the fuel? Overheating?
@@qibble455 I’d say that’s correct.
@@qibble455 It's probably more likely that they can't get it anymore or it's banned outright. You really need all the power you can get in a ducted fan powered aircraft and cooling isn't really an issue if it's set up properly.
Wow that’s epic, I did not know they had a nitro EDF, especially on one of my favourite planes. Cool stuff Dom.
Oh yeah. This was the way before turbines and EDF.

i remeber these form back in the day - very cool but compared to the modern LIPO powered ducted fan stuff, it's a dinosaur and probably not as powerful - very cool none the less
Absolutely dinosaurs... They're still guys out there that like to fly the older stuff for nostalgia and smell, Ya can't beat the smell of NITRO😂... Not many but they are out there...
@@wms7795 I still fly nitro, love that smell and noise!
@@craigbrett672 I do as well... Mostly 4 stroke in smaller stuff, and gas in the 1/4 scale planes, but still like the smell of NITRO... 👍👍👍
Very nice 👍☺️
Ah, the bad old days, complete with broken nosewheel. Fun to watch, though.....
That is Cool 😎
I’ve got one of these kits new in box. Mines the 30”
Neat!
😃
I would say by today's standards it's a poor man's jet but I have a plan for a diesel-powered free flight scale jet! This is a lovely fairly simple machine 🙂👍
I think it's about nostalgia Cliff. Adam obviously enjoys collecting these older ICDF setups and putting them to excellent use. We wouldn't see anything like this unless he put in the monumental effort to get them airworthy. Captivating and so different to the regular turbine powered jets.
@@EssentialRC Ahh nostalgia, we all reach for it eventually 👍
why not use it its lot cheaper than buying and maintaining a turbine engine...
A lot less power than a turbine
@@EssentialRC but yes much cheaper and peace of mind....😅😅😅
Can you make a video of the other turbine jet around 2:59
