RE: New ARSON 153mm EDF For Byron jets
Gents, I'm glad I posted the ARSON EDF thread when I did. I was going to wait until all the performance specs were done but I decided to post it early to see what kind of feedback I would get. Today I find this thread From Changesun that has the same exact concept and design I've been working on for years. Coincidence? How can two people in different sides of the world have the same idea, same concept same design without knowing each other. But one of the variables here is that I'm working with 3 overseas companies to make the tooling for the ARSON. Two of them in Asia and one in South America. I don't see a South America company posting a new product identical to mine. Even color in the photo is exactly like the ARSON. Please let me know your honest thoughts. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1717661 Cheers, Joe

I had no clue you flew for Byron? You must have some great stories. I agree with you I always admired Byron simplicity in all his models. I will send you an email or give you a call to check up on Shaggy. Stay healthy my friend, Cheers, Joe

RE: New ARSON 153mm EDF For Byron jets
erh7771, Can you advice where you got those performance specs for the Byron EDF (motor type, ESC). The reason for asking is because when I converted the Byron F-15 to EDF I was getting approximately 12-14lbs out of the fan on a 10S and 12S setup, scorpion HK 4035-630kv with a CC 110 ESC. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

RE: New ARSON 153mm EDF For Byron jets
Ed, The performance specs, videos, pricing and weight of the unit with and without the motor, ESC and battery packs will be posted early September. The pricing is very competitive and will be less than the EVF and some other smaller EDF systems. If this information becomes available sooner, I will post immediately on this thread. We appreciate your interest. Joe

New ARSON 153mm EDF For Byron jets
I would like to welcome the new ARSON EDF, the ultimate electrical ducted fan unit. The ARSON EDF is a 153mm fan with a modular interchangeable 18 blade impeller. This impeller can be interchanged from the stock 18 blade to a 9 blade impeller or 6 blade fan system. This modular change can be done by removing the blades and adding a patented spacer to meet the needs of your desired model requirements. As homage to the great R/C model builder Byron Leroy Godbersen, founder of the Byron Original, the ARSON EDF was designed based on the simplistic design of the Byron fan. A decision in 2007 to convert the Byron F-15 into an EDF with the introduction of more reliable and powerful batteries and motor units was implemented and upon it's completion was clear; the Byron F-15 had new life! During the time spent operating the Byron F-15, there were notable deficiencies in the Byron fan itself. After many successful flights, the model was lost and upon review and inspection of the wreckage, it was determined that the Byron fan stators with the edf conversion failed, losing one engine in midflight which made for a spectacular hole in the ground. Thus, the quest to build what is now the ARSON EDF was initiated. Several factors were taken into account such as the same dimensions were needed as the Byron Fan, the Fan had to produce at least twice the thrust that the Byron/Scorpion combination was producing, it had to have the reliability and stability behind the power, and most of all, had to have character. This fan must be attractive enough to be proud to install in your model. After years of trial and error a good concept began to develop and the final product has become a first of its kind. A modular EDF unit, the ARSON EDF, comes with a standard 18 blade impeller designed to transform itself to a 9 or 6 blade impeller to suit your EDF/Model requirements. By designing 2 different impeller spacers, the modeler can separate the fan and install spacers for their desired impeller design. Depending on the response I receive on this post, this will gauge the production of the unit in the marketplace. If you have an interest in purchasing the ARSON EDF, send an email to info@arsonedf.com or you can send me a PM. I’ve included a few photos of the ARSON EDF which is scheduled to launch the production phase on or about December 1, 2012. Just in time for Christmas!! We will be posting videos and performance data of the prototype by October 1, 2012. If you are also interested in following our progress, please visit our website and blog located at www.arsonedf.com starting September 1, 2012. In the meantime, send us an email to info@arsonedf.com or PM to receive updates and information. Specs: Inside Dia: 153 mm Outside Dia:156mm Stators: 9 Impeller: 18 blades Shroud Length: 110mm Length with motor mount: 147mm Motor mount inner dia: 56.38 mm Motors that will be tested with the ARSON EDF Nue 1527, 1900 series, and 2200 series Hacker A-50L Turnado HET Typhoon 800 series (If there's any suggestion on other high power motors that you believe can make the performance of the ARSON EDF better please send me a PM) Power System 12-14s or larger depending on the motor (Nue 2200) and ESC. Looking forward to hearing from you. Joe

RE: 1/5.5 Scale SU-34
Peter, Carlos I apologize for the late reply, I've been a little busy working. Thanks for the pics, I don't any of those in my files. My dream will be complete when I see 4 of my SU models in a tight formation like that (I need to finish the monster first, right?). I'm planing on making the first two prototypes with the color scheme above (Blue paint scheme) and the Dark grey/blue paint scheme as shown in the following pics. I believe the dark grey color scheme will make the detail in the model stand out more than the blue. We will see. Gents below is a link to my new website (please forgive the website it's my first attempt at building one) scan creations. If your interested in the services send me a message or give me a call.

RE: 3D printed scale parts for jets
Gents, Would like to shine a bit of light on these affortable 3d printers out on the market. I just recently purchased a Makerbot Replicator (http://store.makerbot.com/replicator.html) for the same reasons listed above and also I do alot of concept designs and this was a cheap alternative to inspect my work before sending it for rapid prototype. These affortable 3d printers are light years away from the professional printers that will sink a hole in your pocket for 10-20K for a basic model. The parts produced in these affortable 3d printers are NOT of the best quality I expected. To put it into a simple perspective a professional Printer generates parts like if it was done in a 5 axis CNC machine, the parts generated by the affortable 3d printers look like they were done with a wood chipper. (Just a hypothetical anology guys) So in my honest opinion, if you are going to buy one of these DIY 3d machines and except to have a great quality product of your .stl files for your rc model, think again.

RE: Jet Flyers Beware, scam artist Shaun Evans loose
This makes me laugh because I can see the circle jerk of guys here in RCU that continue to stick together without all the facts, it's Ok to slander other people that are not in that circle, but when it comes to them they get all up in arms. (The RCU Circle jerk jet Mafia RCUCJJM[:D]) As a law enforcement officer I always have the 3 story rule. There's 3 sides to one story, the accused, the accuser and the truth. But to just attack a person even if he had a previous negative posting without Shaun explaining his side of the story it brings to light some of you guys characters. I had some inconviniences with Shawn trying to place an order for my twin bug by not replying to my emails or returning phone calls, but he was a gentlemen when I contacted him on RCU and he apologized, and I will continue to do business with Shaun and Y/A. The bottom line here is this, George you are wrong by posting this thread and trying to attack Shaun in that manner. The man has been in the RC business for a very long time. If you can't come to an agreement that is why we have courts that can settle the issue. The second thing is George, these models although expensive models they are still toys and they break and parts fall off, Thats part of the hobby specially down in south florida/ Caribbean, South America, where the humidity is sometimes unberable. In the past 3 months since I got back to the US I had to reglue most of my gear doors and cylinders and reinforce the bulkheads and other componets on my bug. I will not make any excuses for you or Shaun as the builders, but my question for you is when you noticed all those deficiencies in the aircraft why you didn't notify Shaun immediately of the issues and why did you decide to fly the model anyways? You waited too long to address your concerns and the suspicions here in RCU dictates "who knows what you did to the aircraft in that time period". I wish you guys good luck
