HobbyKing/HobbyCity FlyCat Complete Kit w/ Motor/EDF/BESC
FlyCat EDF kit
This little kit takes around 4hrs to build and will satisfy the throttle jocky in all of us!
The flycat comes complete with a 1500mah 3S1P lipoly pack, 25A ESC and 4800kv inrunner & EDF.
This plane is extremely fast, (over 100mph!), however still stable at slow flight.

EDF was mounted on the stink mount. Stick mount was shortened, with the extra piece used to raise the EDF off the stick to clear the EDF shroud. 2 bolts held the fan unit to the stick, one before and one after the fan blades.
First flight.
Overall an excellent plane which flys smoothly, even on windy days.
We suggest a good lipo pack, as this little hotty will chew through a 1500mAh in only 5 minutes. We used the ZIPPY-R 1800mAh 22C 3S1P pack for around 8 minute flights. As compared to the ZIPPY-Q pack which brought us short at about 7 minutes.
