How To Make A Cracked Portal 2 Server. 16oz (470g) Manufacturer: Available From: MSRP: $155 Over the last few years, the popularity and achievements of electric flight have progressed very rapidly. Two of the markets that have seen some of the largest growth are the foamy EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) and RTF (Ready To Fly) offerings. Art-Tech, manufacturer of those very things, has been around for a few years and produces quite a diverse range of products including R/C airplanes, helicopters, batteries, ESCs, gyros, servos and a slew of other assorted electronics.

For those of us in North America, Nitroplanes.com carries quite a few of Art-Tech’s products, including the Eurofighter 2000 RTF kit featured in this review. • • Kit Contents The EF2000 is marketed as a RTF, 95% complete kit so I expected a high level of prefabrication. I have never owned a, RTF package, and I found opening the box and inspecting the components quite fun. All of electronics come pre-installed, the components seem to be of decent quality, and all that was required was some final assembly. • • • • • • Kit includes/features: • Art-Tech 4 channel FM Transmitter • Pre-installed Art-Tech 6 channel micro receiver • Art-Tech 3s 1600mah lipo battery • DC charging unit • Pre-painted and decaled foam fuselage / wings • Pre-installed and painted pilot / canopy • Pre-installed 9g servos and linkages • Pre-installed Fan/Motor unit • Pre-installed 30A ESC • Instruction manual • Glue Kit requires: • 8 AA batteries for the transmitter Power system A single 64mm fan unit with a brushless inrunner motor mounted at the factory powers the Eurofighter on the kit 3s 1600mah lipo. According to factory specs, the thrust output of the fan unit is in the 16oz range, which on paper should give the Eurofighter plenty of power. Bench testing showed my setup making just under 250W @ 20A on the stock freshly charged battery, and about 275W @ 24A on a 2200mah 20C pack that I also had in the workshop.

Either way the stock 30A ESC is more then enough to cover the demands of the fan/motor combo. • • • Assembly I simply glued the wings and canards in place, installed the landing gear, plugged in the servo wires, charged up the battery and headed out for the maiden.

If you've got some build/assembly experience, I'd bet you could complete the assembly in the amount of time it takes to charge the battery with the supplied wall charger (about 30 minutes for initial charge). Wing Main Wing To attach the wings, I pushed the tabbed wing into a precut slot on the fuselage for both the left and right side. To ensure the wings were aligned properly, I kept the top / bottom of the wing flush with a ridge that runs the length of the fuselage. The servos and control linkages are already done at the factory, so once the wing was in place all that was left to-do was plug them in.

• • • Canards The Art-Tech Eurofighter comes with fixed canards, and to install them I slipped the tabbed end of the canard into a precut slot on the fuselage and glued them into place (just like the wing). Aligning the canards is done for you once the canard is fully inserted into the tab, but I still ensured everything looked symmetrical before I glued in place. • • • Fuselage The only remaining step that is required to complete the fuselage is attaching the nose cone. I simply glued it into place after it was aligned appropriately. • • Tail Since it’s a delta wing, there is no horizontal stab. And since the vertical stab is molded into the fuselage there is no assembly required.
