64mm FMS Rafale on 5s! Practicing high alpha

Picked up the 64mm FMS Rafale. Wanted more power than stock but light weight too…here’s what I ended up with.
Mods:
Freewing 64mm 2850kv edf
Avian 60 amp smart esc
Spektrum AR630 receiver
CHL 5s 1500mah flight pack weight- 207grams
Freewing tail flame afterburner mounted behind the edf on a carbon rod
Aluminum foil tape covering the exhaust side of the duct.
Swapped out the stock FMS 64mm 3150kv edf for the Freewing 64mm 2850kv edf that comes in newer 64mm edf Freewing models. The Freewing fan actually measures 66mm and the slightly lower KV of the motor sounded great for running on 5s.
Running the fan on 5s CHL mini star (orange) 1500mah pack charged to 4.35v per cell I saw 75a peak which settled in at 65a for most of the flight. It made 1250g-1300g static thrust and weighed in at 1248g all up weight. With the extra voltage and mah, I’m getting around 3 minutes of flight time.
Afterburner looks really cool as the model slowly floats by with the nose up. Having a lot of fun with this cool Jet!

Excellent. Thats how all my 64mm 4s are flown. 80A predator esc and 5s 2200 lipo. Of all the jets that need the extra oomph the Rafale is the one that needs it most. Found the fms 3150kv or xfly 3300kv to give about 1.6kg of thurst on 5s.
