Folding EDF adapter for RC mini gliders (27mm EDF)

thingiverse

I made an adaptor that lets you power your RC mini gliders with a folding EDF, perfect for flying them around with a Multiplex Solius Mini - it'll fit any foamy glider close to its size just fine. When the engine's turned on, the EDF snaps itself up, but when you turn it off, it folds back down into the model by its own weight and cable pull without needing any extra servo action. My full setup weighed in at 18 grams, which includes the micro EDF adaptor plus the tiny fan itself, with my overall AUW sitting right at 96g. If you run a 27mm 11000kV motor off a 2S 200mAh lipo battery, it'll produce around 60g of static thrust.
