Micro EDF – L-159 Alca – Plain White

This version comes in plain unpainted white for you to do your own colour scheme! . Also note that in the plain white version the wing comes in two halfs and you have to join with the dihederal strip. in the colour version the wing is one pc.

This is a micro EDF powered EPP jet designed for use with a GWS EDF40. It’ll fly nicely on a brushed motor, or really come alive with a feigao brushless motor! The wingspan is just 20.25″!!

Battery selection:
If you are planning on using the stock brushed motor, you must only use a 2cell lithium pack – any more voltage than that will fry the motor. A kokam 640 2s1p is ideal for this setup giving good duration.
If you are going to use one of the feigao brushless motors, then you can use either 2 or 3 cells – if you use 3 cells a Kokam 360 3s1p, Hyperion 300-400, will fit, anything larger than this will be too big.

Feigao brushless motors:
The hotter 5800KV motor is the preferred one to use, it is rated for use on 2cells. If used with 3 cells you have to be aware that you are pushing the motor quite hard & that it will get hot. If pushed too hard, ie long periods of full throttle it will possibly burn out – throttle control is needed.
The softer 4100KV version (standard IPS replacement) will be fine on 3 cells without any issues – this motor is not a good choice for a 2 cell setup.

It is also advised that which ever motor you use (even the standard brushed one), that you use a heatsink on the motor to aid cooling.
