RE: XB-70 EDF
Contact Nicesky, the manufacturer. They mentioned to me they could take orders. http://www.nicesky.net/en/contact.asp [quote]ORIGINAL: Sessholvlaru [quote]ORIGINAL: hadatom Why don't you save yourself the aggravation and order directly from NiceSky. [/quote] How? NiceSky doesn't appear to have an e-store. I don't see any way to order one from their site. [/quote]

RE: XB-70 EDF
The picture I sent in the previous post shows the alteration I did to the exhaust. Got rid of the sexfurcation and put in a single tube. Not as pretty but more power.

RE: XB-70 EDF
You have to change the nose gear wire and replace it with same diameter piano wire. I havn't had problems since. I fly mine with an 1800 mAh Nanotech 65-130A, this high amp battery is lighter and gives it full after burner on take-off, takeoff roll is reduced by at least 50%. It tiptoes in on landing. With a 2200 mAh, it is more lumbering and nose heavy. I have to add 1/4 to 1/2 oz in the back to compensate.

RE: XB-70 EDF
I think the Light in theBox XB-70 does not have retracts. Verify with them.

RE: XB-70 EDF
My first XB-70 came with the motor and I haven't put a motor on my second one yet. The inside diameter of the stock duct fan unit is 29 mm and the shaft diameter is 4 mm. My first choice which fits these criteria would be the Hobbyking HK2839 EDF outrunner 2800kv for 70 mm, but it is presently on backorder my second choice would be the Turnigy 2226 3000 mm outrunner for 70 mm. I am a bit concerned that it may fit a bit tight in the stock duct fan housing. Remember this is an outrunner ! I would order a spare duct fan unit at the same time and an ESC larger than 45 A.

RE: XB-70 EDF
Give it about 3/16 inch up trim. My stock version was somewhat underpowered until I made the modification I described above, so make sure to give it sufficient runway space before taking off and let it build up speed once in the air. Do not overcontrol. The long nose is disconcerting in flight, it looks like it's chasing itself.

RE: XB-70 EDF
Go to the H1hobby web site and in the lower box where it says "quick find" on the right hand side, type in "XB-70". I got my second one there because the company which produced it informed me that they do not manufacture it anymore. H1hobby has it for $119, servos and duct fan included but no motor or ESC. I received it at my door 5 days after ordering. Shipping fees are very reasonable.

RE: XB-70 EDF
They have it, but it's not listed with the other EDF jets. You have to do a "search" in the box on the right hand side of their web page. That's how I found it.

RE: XB-70 EDF
I got two XB-70's. It is my favorite edf. It is correct that the nose connecting rod is too soft and needs to be changed. I greatly improved the power on the plane by cutting out the bottom rearward of the fan and putting a straight tube 70 mm diameter all the way to the back. Otherwise it was underpowered. I believe it is still available at H1 hobby http://www.h1hobby.com/ Very good service, this is where I got my second one. I think they only have it in grey.
