Hi Luke,
Gliders at Newark sell a nice 90mm edf with 14 blades including motor for £99 needs a 120 esc and 6s makes a good turbine sound. A clubmate has two of them.

It gives 3.2kg thrust at just over 90amps would need a 6s 5000mah lipo

The fan you looked at would do the job and cost over twice as much and need 8 or 10s lipo!
Is the esc you have HV or not, what voltage will it handle?
With edf you need the highest c rating you can get as the currents are high.
You would get around 4 mins flight time.

Using the 90 amps 5000mah example above --

5000mah is 5 amps for one hour or 1 amp for 5 hours, amps X mins = 5 X 60 = 300 amp mins

300 / 90 = 3.33 mins run time at 90 amps, with some reduced throttle time gives something like 4 mins

C rating required is 90 / 5(000) = 18 absolute minimum, 30 would put less strain on the batterys

For that battery on your fan you are looking at 4.5 x 60 = 270 amp mins

270 / 98 amps = 2.75 mins

C = 98 / 4.5 = 21.7 s0 the C rating of that battery is fine

A pair of 4500 battery's in series is still 4500, not 9000

Hello everyone now Christmas morning has been I received 2 turnigy 4400 5s lipo packs with a c rating of 65c continues and burst of 130c and was wanting to know what kind of flight time I should get out of them with a current draw of 98amps also what would you guys suggest for attaching carbon fibre to carbon fibre ?? I was thinking of just using some 15 min epoxy . Thanks everyone and merry Christmas and a happy new year

4.4 X 60 = 264 amp mins

264 / 98 = 2.7 mins about 2 mins 40 secs

As an obvious expert on battery's and all things for electric flight, looking at your calculations I must say as a mere pleb!! I am not really understanding where are coming from. Would you be able to explain How and Why and Where and How you actually arrive at your results in plain uncluttered language! For all the people like me who haven't a clue on how to do it !!
It seems like a minefield !!

In Steves equation the 4.4 is the milliamp hour of the lipo i.e. 4400 changed to amp hours then times 60 to get to minutes.
He then divides the amp minutes by the amps to give minutes! Simples!

So a 4400 lipo fully charged gives 2mins flying?
So to get a 10 min flight you need 5 x 4400 lipo packs fully charged???
So charge the batterys for x amount of hours just for a 10 min flight???
That seems an awful lot of batteries ???

98 amps is the killer, that is the same current as 8 electric fires, and more than enough to weld with !

The time calculated is for continuous full power rather than real world throttling back, the 5800 lipo further up is of course more suitable :)
