- I finally ditched the old outrunner motors that came in my F-14 and put in the new 3658-2150Kv 80mm inrunner motor and upgraded ESCs. The increased power is very nice. The plane now flies like I feel it always should have.
I have a upgrade for the gear bc this bird has a tendency to crush on the wing area. its a awesome plane and thanks for sharing big like and like and thanks again!!
Just about to complte my upgrade with a similar setup.
Just ordered the motors and ESCs for the same!
It makes the plane fly SO much better.
Hi. I just bought an F-14 and also a new EDF drive like you. Is any modification to the aircraft required when installing the EDF? Another question, did you keep the diameter of the end nozzle original or do you need to make a larger diameter for 3D printing?
I did not modify the output diameter at all. It might help, but I don't know if anyone has done any testing to find out.
The only other thing you need to do if you got newer, more powerful EDF motors, is to upgrade the ESC to make sure they can handle the new EDF Amp draw.
