RETRO GLOW IC Ducted Fan JET | Yellow Aircraft F-4 Phantom | OS91 DF engine | Dynamax fan
Adam keeps the memory of ICDF powered jets alive with the maiden flight of this awesome F4 Phantom.

This Phantom is a Yellow Aircraft kit which has polyester fuselage and glassed cloth wings tails and canards. Built by Adam in 2021. Has six JR servos and was painted using Tamiya paint. It uses an OS91 DF engine with a Dynamax fan and a Weston UK mini twin outlet pipe. Irvine straight fuel and no nitro added. Spring air retracts for undercarriage. Adam uses a Spektrum DX18 for guidance.

Filmed by Dom for the 'Essential RC' YouTube channel using the Panasonic HC-X2 4K camcorder.

Awesome video thank you for sharing Working on 3 yellow aircraft starfires myself can't wait to get them in the air this Spring

Old school. I remember these well. A local club I flew at had a die hard nitro flyer that would bring an Northrup F5 to the field. Some days it would snarl to life in an instant, others times it needed incessant fettering to make it work. Always a treat to see it go when it did.

I had a OS.77 with a Byron fan unit In a Bob Parkinson's F-15 Regale Eagle introduction Jet many years ago... That jet flew pretty good for it's time... Clicked out at 120mph at the 1st Superman fan fly in metropolis Illinois...
I still have 2 brand NEW K&B .82s NEVER RUN with tuned pipes with 2 NEW Dyna Fan Units... EVERYTHING is still NIB... I bought them to use in my 1/12th scale SR-71 Blackbird but went with Turbine units instead... May be up for sale this summer as soon as I get back home and get things sorted out... Getting older and probably will never use them???

Wow that is so cool to see and hear. In Australia there was a company called Trim Aircraft. They manufactured a DF unit called the Ramtec. I believe it was quiet popular overseas so there were a good number of exports. They also manufactured a number of DF models. I recall one of them was the Trim Aircraft Spectre.

Absolutely a gem. Nice to see they're still about and in use. I was surprised to read in the description that there was no nitro in the fuel, but yet it still seemed to perform very well.

[DadsRCHangar]

Wow that’s epic, I did not know they had a nitro EDF, especially on one of my favourite planes. Cool stuff Dom.

[craigbrett]

i remeber these form back in the day - very cool but compared to the modern LIPO powered ducted fan stuff, it's a dinosaur and probably not as powerful - very cool none the less

[sit-and-fly]

Ah, the bad old days, complete with broken nosewheel. Fun to watch,

I’ve got one of these kits new in box. Mines the 30”

I would say by today's standards it's a poor man's jet but I have a plan for a diesel-powered free flight scale jet! This is a lovely fairly simple machine 🙂👍

[ravebrave]

why not use it its lot cheaper than buying and maintaining a turbine engine...

[leozengy]

Can you make a video of the other turbine jet around 2:59
