1. Inleiding
This manual provides essential information for the proper assembly, operation, and maintenance of your E-flite Delta-V 180m 28mm EDF Unit (EFLDF180M). Please read this manual thoroughly before use to ensure safe and efficient performance. This unit is designed for use in compatible remote-controlled aircraft.
2. Product voorbijview
The E-flite Delta-V 180m 28mm EDF Unit is a high-performance electric ducted fan accessory featuring an efficient design and quick assembly. It is constructed from injection-molded, high-strength plastic and utilizes a 28mm 5-blade rotor. This unit is specifically designed for use with a 10mm brushless motor, such as the BL180m Ducted Fan Brushless Motor, 11,750Kv (EFLM30180mDFA), to achieve optimal performance in small ducted fan airplanes like the E-flite UMX MiG 15.
Opmerking: This product includes the EDF housing and rotor only. A compatible brushless motor and Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) are required and sold separately.

4. Inhoud van het pakket
Bij het openen van uw pakket vindt u de volgende artikelen:
- 1x E-flite Delta-V 180m 28mm EDF Unit Housing
- 1x 28mm 5-blade Rotor
5. Montage en opstelling
Follow these steps to assemble your EDF unit and prepare it for installation into your aircraft:
- Motorinstallatie: Carefully insert your compatible 10mm brushless motor (e.g., EFLM30180mDFA) into the EDF unit housing. Ensure it is seated correctly and secured according to the motor's instructions.
- Rotor Attachment: Attach the 5-blade rotor to the motor shaft. Ensure the rotor is pushed firmly onto the shaft and secured, typically with a small screw or collet, to prevent it from detaching during operation. Verify that the rotor spins freely within the housing without rubbing.
- Aircraft Integration: Install the assembled EDF unit into your RC aircraft. Ensure the unit is securely mounted within the airframe, and that the intake and exhaust ducts are clear and unobstructed.
- Elektrische aansluitingen: Connect the motor leads to your compatible Electronic Speed Controller (ESC). Pay close attention to the polarity and phase connections as specified by your motor and ESC manufacturers.
- ESC-kalibratie: Calibrate your ESC with your radio transmitter according to the ESC manufacturer's instructions.
6. Bediening
Operating your E-flite Delta-V 180m EDF unit requires careful attention to detail and adherence to safety guidelines:
- Controle vóór de vlucht: Before each flight, perform a thorough pre-flight check. Verify all connections are secure, the rotor spins freely, and there are no visible damages to the EDF unit or aircraft.
- Eerste keer opstarten: When first powering up, apply throttle gradually. Listen for any unusual noises or vibrations. If any are detected, immediately cut power and investigate the cause.
- Throttle Management: While the unit is designed for high performance, avoid prolonged full-throttle operation, especially during initial flights, until you are confident in the setup and balance of your aircraft. High RPMs can stress components if not properly installed or balanced.
- Omgevingsomstandigheden: Avoid operating in dusty or sandy environments, as debris can enter the EDF unit and cause damage to the rotor or motor.
7. Onderhoud
Regular maintenance will help ensure the longevity and performance of your EDF unit:
- Visuele inspectie: After each flight, visually inspect the EDF unit, especially the rotor blades, for any signs of damage, cracks, or debris accumulation.
- Schoonmaak: Keep the fan intake and exhaust areas clean and free from obstructions. Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust and small debris.
- Motorlagers: Periodically check the motor bearings for smooth operation. If excessive noise or resistance is noted, the motor may require servicing or replacement.
- Montagebeveiliging: Ensure all mounting screws and fasteners holding the EDF unit in the aircraft remain tight.
8. Probleemoplossing
In dit gedeelte worden de meest voorkomende problemen besproken die u kunt tegenkomen:
| Probleem | Mogelijke oorzaak | Oplossing |
|---|---|---|
| Unit not spinning or low thrust | Loose motor connections, uncalibrated ESC, low battery, obstruction in fan. | Check motor-to-ESC connections. Recalibrate ESC. Ensure battery is fully charged. Remove any debris from the fan. |
| Overmatige trillingen of ongebruikelijk lawaai | Damaged or unbalanced rotor blades, loose motor mounting, worn motor bearings. | Inspect rotor blades for damage and replace if necessary. Ensure motor is securely mounted. Check motor bearings for smooth operation. |
| Oververhitting van de motor | Incorrect motor/ESC pairing, insufficient cooling, prolonged high-throttle use. | Verify motor and ESC compatibility. Ensure adequate airflow for cooling within the aircraft. Reduce continuous high-throttle operation. |
