Steve Hargreaves - Moderator Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Went to Weston Park this year & whilst peering through the mud I was very impressed by a Perkins Tiger Shark that ripped up & down the strip......Anyone tried this model? I quite fancy a bash at EDF & as a package this seems pretty good at £100 for the model, ESC & Motor......looking through the forum though EDF & interference/glitching seem to go hand in hand....any views??Also the recommended battery is a 1200 LiPo which seems a bit on the small side to me.....I'm guessing the EDF will pull around 20A & as I use a rule of thumb of trying not to exceed 10C I would have thought that an 1800 or 2000 LiPo would be nearer the mark but will it fit???

scott cuppello Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 The Tiger Shark offers little space for battery, etc. I'd offer the bigger lipo up first, if you can, before buying.As far as glitching is concerned, Jeti MPD reciever, which is also tiny and very light, seems to be the way to go.As you have seen, it's fast but also has superb glide ability, overall, value for money V performance, it seems to be about the best of the foamie's.

Steve Hargreaves - Moderator Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 OK Scott thanks for that....I've been following David Ashbys EDF trials with the HET F20 which seems interesting....especially as its a bigger model...not sure I could handle all the faffing about with bungees & things though...

David Ashby - Moderator Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 ScottWe've never had one for review but flying buddy Steve Sales had one, it went very well, impressive even but...it's not particularly crash proof. Being of depron (I think) and pretty fragile, the slightest bump can inflict a lot of damage damage, and patched-up Depron doesn't look very nice.
