Description
These are some things to improve the performance of the Flycat V2 from Hobby King. a 70mm EDF model. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/h-king-flycat-v2-pnf-70mm-12-blade-6s-edf-jet-w-retracts-epo-1042mm-41.html.
The new nozzle improves the efficiency of the fan at cruise (lower current for same airspeed) but does not improve the top speed of the model much. some carving of the foam under the old vac-formed nozzle will be required. The new wingtip increases speed by some 5mph! the lower cheater hole in the stock model is not required and can be closed off with my cover. it keeps the fan from being damaged on unimproved flying surfaces. A tool is also provided to properly cut off the foam wingtip and glue on the 3dp one. Both the wing tip tool and the wing tip are Left side only, mirror a copy in your slicer to get the right side.
updated on 7-15-25 to include parts for inlet modifications.
fixed inlet lip on 11-19-25 and added picture of wing inlet filler fwd.
