00:00If you're anything like me, there's nothing quite like the sound of a real turbine whoosh
00:03ripping across the flying field, but nobody wants to spend a fortune getting into the air.
00:08Today, I've tracked down the best deals out there for the top 5 RC airplane duct fan jets
00:13and power setups you can grab right now. Kicking things off, we have the QXMotor 64mm EDF unit
00:20with its 12-blade setup and matching QF2822 brushless motor. The standout feature here is
00:26that multi-blade rotor design, which ditches the annoying high-pitched whine you get on cheaper
00:31fans in favor of a deep, authentic jet roar. Priced at just $13.94 with multiple KV options
00:38to tailor your speed, it's honestly one of the best budget drop-in upgrades you can buy for any
00:42standard 64mm foam jet. If you're working on a tighter airframe, take a look at the QXMotor
00:4950mm 12-blade unit. Despite its smaller size, it's built to run cleanly on 3S or 4S packs,
00:56giving microjets a shocking amount of punch while keeping the overall airframe lightweight.
01:00At an unbelievable price of only $8.84, it's an absolute steal for scratch builders or anyone
01:07wanting to breathe fast, reliable life back into an old mini-park jet.
01:11Next up is an actual complete aircraft, the Su-27 twin 30mm EDF fighter jet.
01:18The coolest part about this one is the twin-engine layout, giving you realistic scale lines,
01:22DIY assembly satisfaction, and awesome high-speed stability that doubles as a sharp desktop display
01:28when you aren't flying. For $41.35, getting a full dual-duct jet kit that looks and sounds
01:34this menacing in the sky is seriously hard to beat. For custom micro-builds where space is
01:40non-existent, the AERC-patented EDF system in 35mm and 45mm sizes is a game-changer.
01:47Its best feature is the high-efficiency housing paired with insane motor speeds up to 11000kV,
01:54squeezing maximum thrust out of a tiny footprint. Coming in at $17.90, this is the unit you pick when
02:01you want to build an ultra-lightweight speed demon without adding unwanted drag or deadweight.
02:06Rounding out the list is the XFLY model 40mm 12-blade EDF power unit, packing an aggressive
02:125000kV external brushless motor tuned for 4S power. The highlight here is XFLY's factory dynamic
02:19balancing, it runs whisper-smooth with practically zero vibration straight out of the package.
02:24It costs $28.77, and it's well worth the investment if you want rock-solid reliability,
02:31efficient battery draw, and crisp throttle response on your high-performance microjets.
