Tobias “Tigger” Gaus –
Thanks Craig for the drawing of the plans and the 3D files.
The Voodoo was on my “build list” quite for a while đŸ˜‰
Building:
Again the build is not so difficult. it needs quite some sanding…
for the bulkheads I also decided to use poplar wood (like on my other Jetworks models)
For the outlet and the inlet tube I went for the regular PLA to get ridgit ductings.
All other 3D printed parts are printed with LW-PLA (to keep the weight low)
I had to cut the inlet ring on my FMS 70mm EDF, as it´s seems now a part of the housing ;(
Flying:
On the first flight the controls have been way to big. (on the elevator)
CG was spot on.

next flight on a windy day, with reduced elevator throws

Setup:
EDF 70mm FMS (4s version)
4s 3300mAh Lipo
CG at 100mm from the leading edge
elevator 8mm up/down (60%Expo)
ailerons 14mm up/down (40%Expo)
It is still very sensitive on pitch, due to the full flying elevator
