EDF Motor Size Calculator - 3D Printing Scale Tool
🛩️ EDF Motor Size Calculator
Calculate the percentage difference between EDF motor sizes to determine how much to scale your 3D printed RC airplane models when 3D printing.
X-59 Quest 70mm
Mirage 4000 (50mm)
back around the 2008-2010 range there was a beautiful mirage 4000 EDF foamy that was white/red and blue like my rendering. It was one of the sweetest planes to fly. I've always wanted to re create it. I have to say, mine flies very similar to what I remember. Its very easy to fly and basically wont stall. You can do some pretty cool slow flying. Easy to print and build.

Aircraft Specifications
- EDF: single 50mm
Shmiggen 50mm and 64mm EDF jets (Cartoon Viggen)
well... this ones special. Super special. It flies amazing as you can see from my videos. I'm offering this jet as a double pack. 50mm and 64mm. I would challenge any 3d printed jet designer to compete against this little fatty.
Pros:
1. looks funny and cute
2. flies unbelievably slow (cartoon planes never do)
3. tons of control, you can perform almost every stunt
4.lands light
5. easy to hand launch! one of the easier ones.
6. prints super easy. Just dial in your printer and print, then glue the parts togther
English Electric Lightning 50mm
Another surprising model like the Mig 17, the odd shaped wings and unique control surfaces was really an unknown entity. the maiden flight in heavy winds quicky showed me how great this little plane is. Its an easy, print, build and flyer. Its got really good thrust for having a nose intake with a shock cone obstructing the airflow. Everyone at the field really loved it. I brought it to the field with friends, i didnt film those flights but it flew as stable as a large scale P51 and large 80mm sport jets. Great all around jet.
Bell X-1 50mm
This design has been attempted 3 times. The first two were "ok" but not to my liking. I've been struggling to come up with an intake solution that would do the Bell X1 justice. The Bell X-1 was a test aircraft to break the sound barrier. I needed to the design to live up to the expectations people would have for it. Its fast! it took alot of careful planning to make the intake large enough to prove the fan enough thrust to be fast. She goes 91mph on a tiny 1300 4s! The X-1 is also like a pattern plane. very locked in feeling.
Psy-cho 90mm 150+MPH Jet
The Psy-cho Jet weighs 5.5lbs and has 12+ lbs of thrust! Its quick and easy to print. Super simple to assemble and flies really easy until you press the throttle forward. This is a VERY high performance jet designed to carve up the sky like nothing you've flown.
This is not a toy. You should have some fast EDF jet experience before you fly this. I recommend taking full care and please be responsible. Printer or builder error could cause a catastrophic crash. Use good judgement like any other high speed airframe.
Wing span 37”
Length 36” with thrust tube
FA18c Legacy Hornet (70mm,90mm)
10.29* I’ve uploaded all fuselage sections for the retract 90mm version in a separate zip.
Its hard to hide my love for the legacy hornet. Truly a multi role fighter/work horse. Perfect blend of utility and beauty. F18's just fly different. When the designers came up with the idea, they knew they needed a maneuverable but also slow flying / high lift airframe. Thats what I feel makes the hornet so special.
This design will come with 3 versions
1. 70mm hand launch
2. 90mm hand launch
3. 90mm retract (freewing retracts)
