Although we could not join the guys in Germany in person at the 4th Electric Jet Meet in Effeln last weekend, we can, thanks to the guys from RC-Network in Germany, bring you some great impressions of the meeting.
From small to large (and super large), all kinds of EDF Jet’s made it to this years Electric Jet meet.
Enjoy the Pictures and Videos. For more pictures please visit RC-Network or the picture page of Florian.
We are back from our leave. Enjoy our holiday pictures
Check out our facebook page (click here) for pictures of our visit to a model flying field at the southern border of Germany as well as our visit to a Warbird & Jet Meet near Munich Germany.
Michael was so kind to allow us to post his teaser Video on our Youtube Channel. Have a look:
RC-Warbirds will be closed for summer holidays from 25th June till 19th July. Orders placed after 23rd June can therefore only be shipped once we return on 19th July. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused. We wish you and your family a great summer vacation (with good weather for some RC flying). And our customers in the southern hemisphere a great winter with some time to prepare the models for the next season .

This SAPAC T-45 was build by Edmond. The model is bungee launched (due to the lack of a proper Runway at his flying site) and is equipped with the following power setup:
- FAN: Het 6904 - Motor: HET 2W30 - Lipo: 6S 3000mAh - ESC: Jeti Spin
The model is a real speed daemon. Based on Doppler readings taken from the flight video speeds are estimated to be in the range of 200km/h.
With the release of the new JTM L-39 full composite EDF Jet for 90mm Fans imminent, the guys from Jet Teng Models have released a few more pictures and 2 new videos of the L-39 Prototype in Breitling Colors.
The 2 pictures show close ups of the L-39 cockpit area. The factory pilot fabricated a simple custom cockpit for the plane. This cockpit will NOT be included in the production models as of now. But we are confident that a cockpit kit for the L-39 will be released in the near future once the demand for such an accessory becomes apparent to JTM.
Stay tuned for more updates. In the meantime enjoy the videos of the brake tests and the custom installed lighting kit
Pre Release Notification: Jet Teng is about to release their new L-39 full composite EDF Jet for 90mm Fans. The L-39 comes retract ready and equipped with flaps.

The L-39 will be priced between 599 USD (Color scheme 1 – 3) and 650 USD (color scheme 4-5) depending on the color scheme. We expect initial availability in the first weeks of June with limited quantities available. Please drop us an email at sales@rc-warbirds.com to pre-order your L-39 today.
Pre Release Notification: Jet Teng has just informed us that new color schemes are available for the JTM Hawk full composite EDF jet for 90mm Fans. The new color schemes come with the same features as the standard Hawks. In addition we are offering the same optional packages (fans, motors, retracts) also for these Hawks. We expect initial availability in the first weeks of June with limited quantities available. Please drop us an email at sales@rc-warbirds.com to pre-order your Hawk today.
Tamjets is well known for its track record of producing high end durable turbine jet kits and ARFs. With almost a decade of experience producing composite jet aircraft, Tamjets is now expanding its product line to the electric jet market (EDF). Leveraging this experience, Tamjets are now able to produce scale aircraft that are high perfomance, light weight and strong all at an affordable price. Over one year in engineering strength and efficiency has been invested in making this model to provide maximum performance capable of top speeds eclipsing 150MPH. The Tamjets EDF F-16 ARF’s are fully composite with complete ducting, hardware and ready to accept Tamjets or MAP retracts and gear door cylinders
The Viper Jet in Bronze/Black Color with a composite molded fuselage and balsa wings is the latest high end edf jet from SAPAC. The plane comes pre-completely assembled and pre-painted. The model is designed for popular 70mm EDF Units such as the WeMoTec Mini Fan 480 or HET-6904. Please see the drop down menu below for available power options.
Retract mounts are pre-installed for quick installation. A fixed landing gear is included as well.
The Tamjets TJ90 is basically a downsized version of the TJ100. With this the fan shares all the same parts as the TJ100. With a very low weight, rigid carbon fiber shroud, aluminum motor mount body for improved cooling, is a high performance carbon fiber EDF Unit for demanding applications. The TJ90 was designed with NeuMotors in mind. In order to accommodate also motors with larger diameter, 2 versions of the TJ90 are available. One suitable for NeuMotors 14xx series (~36mm diameter) and one suitable for the larger diameter NeuMotor 15xx series (~38mm diameter).
32oz / 950ml Overflow Tank for Turbine and gasoline models. Extend your flight time by attaching this auxiliary overflow tank to your turbine jet during start-up and taxi operation. Tank comes ready assembled with all fuel lines and Festo connectors.
package of 3 TamJets Aluminum Fuel Stopper Upgrade Kits. The aluminum stopper kit works with any composite fuel tank and most fuel stoppers included in composite fuel tank kits. Improves seal of any composite fuel tank and avoids air/fuel leaks.
We have extended our range of connectors suitable for air retracts and turbine fuel/gas tubing. New in stock are the following Festo Connectors - Festo 3mm-3mm Straight - Festo 4mm-3mm Straight - Festo 4mm-4mm Straight - Festo 6mm-6mm Straight - Festo 4mm Shut Off Valve - Festo Shut Off Valve Mount .

The new 100mm and 90mm Fans by Stumax are in the final stages of development.
Here is a short preview by Stu:
Stumax is currently finalizing the development of two new fans, designated SM100-45 and SM90-45, being 100mm dia and 90mm dia with 45mm hub dia. As there is a demand for a good sounding 90mm fan for a while now, Stu originally tried trimming down an SM110-52 to end up with a 90mm fan unit. However it became quickly apparent that this approach resulted in a too heavy fan unit. At the end Stu designed the SM100 around a SM110-45 motor tube, utilizing the same strator design but with shorter blades to end up with a 100mm fan unit. The goal for the 100mm fan was 5kW using a Neu 15 series motor. Testing shows that the power vs rpm calcs were pretty close, and a 1521-1.5Y on 12S seems to be a good choice, needs a lot of flight testing to confirm, of course. For the SM90-45 it looks like a 1515-2Y will be a good choice on 12S for 3kW, or perhaps a 1515-1.5Y on 8S – again, this needs to be thoroughly tested before these figures are put in stone.
The rotors are 11 bladed, with the blades being individually injection moulded from long glass filled Nylon. the blades are assembled onto front and rear rings which lock them all together. Once the rotor is assembled, it is attached to a shaft adapter which then mounts to a dummy shaft in the lathe, then the front face is machined flat and the bore at the front is machined out to accept the aluminium ring which forms the locating face for the spinner. A lot of work and fiddling, but this ensure the spinner runs 100% true. As assembled, the rotors are close to being perfectly balanced, and I’ve actually run them without further balancing. Production rotors will be dynamically balanced. Thrust-wise, the SM100-45 is matching the 110mm fans up to 3.8kW then it tails off a bit as expected. On 3.8kW it delivers 6.0kg thrust. The static efficiency is up around 92-94%, which is staggering, really, and the reason it’s performing close to a fan with much more FSA. The SM90-45 is giving just over 10lb static thrust with just under 3kW, which is still pretty good considering it’s a cut down rotor and loses the aerodynamic tricks that have been used at the blade tips.The FSA for the SM100-45 is 6264sqmm and 4771sqmm for the SM90-45.
The SM90 is basically the SM100-45 rotor trimmed down to 90mm, using the same motor tube and a 90mm dia shroud. Also new are the shrouds of both the SM100 and SM90 which are carbon/Rohacell sandwich construction at this point. Sound-wise, the SM100-45 is quieter than the SM110-52 but the sound isn’t as interesting, simply because the SM110-52 was designed to have certain pleasing harmonics, and the SM100-45 was designed to be super efficient (hence its quietness).
Release date: Well, Stu is not promising a release date but he hopes to have the first batches done within one month. As with all Stumax products the fans will only be released once they are 100% right.
RC-Warbirds will carry the SM100 and SM90 as soon as they are available. Please drop us an email for more info’s and pre-orders.
