Very Nice I like..
I think it should'nt be a problem to fly it..
Btw, make sure you have the correct C.G. point ya..

Wat is the measurment and weight of this SV 51?
By looking at those pics, looks like you can go for either twin 50~55mm size DF or a single 64mm which i think you have to increase the height of the ducting..
I think this SV51 will fly well...It looks stable..

Sorry for the late reply, ....currently clearing leave (Til the end of this year ) and the PC at home is dead !

The SV-51 has a length of about 3 ft and weights about 300 gms. Nah..I'll simply put in a speed 300 direct drive motor with a 5x3 prop for flying purposes. The DF will go into the full fuselage model (If it ever gets built)

Incidently, I spent the better part of last week hunting round Singapore's Plastic model shops for Hasegawa's SV-51 and ended up spending $$$ on several Macross models ! ...... ....

Nebermind lah ! ...d**n thing looks so good, I cut and built another one so that it'll have company ....Now can have both Nora type and Ivan type !

Gotta go Art friend to buy some Black, Funky pink and Gold foam safe and lightweight paint.

Hi Ghostfit,

I have some pictures which I think it might be useful for your EDF convertion..
Its powered by 40mm size EDF and here is the spec.

Span: 31"
Length (including thrust-vector vanes): 37"
Wing area: Depends on what you count, but I'd say about 160"^2
Intake area: 2.64"^2 per intake
Projected weight: 11-13 oz., AUW
Power: 2x EDF-40s, driven by 28-turn Fiegaos.
Controls: Linked inboard elevons and 2D thrust-vector vanes (mixed for pitch and roll) and throttle.

SV51 Maiden video

Hi guys..
Here is a video of the Sv51 Maiden.
It was built by a guy oversea.
1st and 2nd attemps was tail heavy after he swifted the batt, it flew just right
Hey ghostfit, Dont let others to stop your dream comes ture, let them watch this clip and I bet no one will ever to tell you that this SV can't fly..

I still can remember that when I was goinig into EDF, lots of people told me not to waste my time on this coz it will not fly or perform in weather here.
But I had proved them wrong at the end of the day, after the my first EDF B2 maiden..

Well, sit back and enjoy the video : http://www.daddyhobby.com/gallery/sh...500&ppuser=652

May the force be with you....

Sorry to bump up this thread again .....(just so to show that this is not a dead project .....just delayed! )

SV-51 testing and production was delayed due to the need to send an entry to the NATO Tiger Meet 2005/2006 in Sebnitz/Germany.

Heres the contender !
