Hi Falcon fans I just want to do a little report to my next Modification on the falcon. My Falcon has already got several modifications. As for example burning blaster strokes, illuminated motors, Caution Lights, Landing and Position Lights etc. But for me it is still not enough. Now it is time for biggest one.I want to modify the six Fans. The original Fans of the falcon are only in one piece, which are not mobile. The fans I have got now are two separate parts, fan and ring. I want them running. So I started planning this Modification. The start is the mounting of the six electrical engines. Each engine has got a Engine speed of 1650rpm. When they all run it is enough to get your hair dry.  Firstly it is necessary to do some Modifications on the Frame. This isn´t a Problem I think this would go well. When all engines are mounted I want them to run one by one when the Engine start sound of my sound module gets started. When the engine sound is on its highest level all six Fans must run. Five seconds later the smoke system switches on. The smoke engine is a spare part I have from a Tank. It works with smoke oil. That's all a little tricky, but I do think doing it step by step it would go well.    Forum Support Team

I dont think I've actually seen anyone else doing this Hi Davetwin i also did not see anything like that till now. I searched youtube without any Results. Today i mounted all six engines. Think i would starting wire up the engines in the next days.The engine shafts protrude 6 mm through the linings, so it is enough lenght for the fans. I still have to wait for the fans to arrive. Would surely take another week. Now it is time to mount the Smoke engine and the small pipes to transport the smoke to the fans. try to figure out which is the best place.

Hi Guys
This is now the second test,after reducing the speed off the Motors by installing a potentiometer. The motors now run all,and now it goes to the individual control of the fans. Unfortunately, my fans are not yet on site. They will also influence the speed by their weight. Therefore a final setting is only possible when the fans are there. The main thing is first that they are implanted clean, and work well. Everything else comes by itself, but should not be a problem. I just attached a short clip. If you have any tips for optimizing, I´d like to take it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIZf_rzNsGsForum Support Team

Looking really good. Judging by the size of those motors, wherever you put the model, it's going to keep that room cool.  Mark

Hi GuysNow I solved the problem with the speed,and can handle it as fast i want it. Can control the speed nicely now. When the fans start, the caution lights go on. They go off when the fans go down. My ordered fans have not yet arrived, but for testing wood propellers do the same . The next step is the sound module with the start noise from the Falcon.I just have to do little programming.I want the Fans go on when the sound module starts.Then when everything works,then last but least the installing off the smoke engine must be done. Then I think the falcon is enough Modified.I just attached a small clip from the Fans and Caution Lights.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjuOlGSxIvUForum Support Team
