Looks very stable, not a bad first EDF actually. Very nice job upgrading components while building too. Those intakes look pretty tiny, are those side openings all that sucks in air?
What exactly is a ram air probe? Something different about this little guy.
@Ispintechno1 IMO this would be better as a 2nd EDF. Intakes work fine. Another intake is under the front of the acft at its "chin". Its purpose is to add some to the fan but mainly to provide for cooling air over the battery and electronics. Roughtly, an instrument in the acft compairs air blasting (ram) at the nose with still (static) air at the side of the plane to calculate an airspeed indication. Mine, not built for high speed, did 80 mph. A better battery would yeild more speed.
Wow, look at that thing fly!

@RCSuperPowers New batteries on the way. Performance should be even better.

@BR5499a Correction: Max speed reached during maiden was ~65 mph.
