1. Introducere
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. Produs terminatview
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.
Nota: This product includes the EDF housing and rotor only. A compatible brushless motor and Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) are required and sold separately.

4. Conținutul pachetului
Upon opening your package, you should find the following items:
- 1x E-flite Delta-V 180m 28mm EDF Unit Housing
- 1x 28mm 5-blade Rotor
5. Asamblare și configurare
Follow these steps to assemble your EDF unit and prepare it for installation into your aircraft:
- Instalare motor: 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.
- Conexiuni electrice: 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.
- Calibrare ESC: Calibrate your ESC with your radio transmitter according to the ESC manufacturer's instructions.
6. Funcționare
Operating your E-flite Delta-V 180m EDF unit requires careful attention to detail and adherence to safety guidelines:
- Verificare înainte de zbor: 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.
- Pornire inițială: 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.
- Conditii de mediu: Avoid operating in dusty or sandy environments, as debris can enter the EDF unit and cause damage to the rotor or motor.
7. Întreținere
Regular maintenance will help ensure the longevity and performance of your EDF unit:
- Inspecție vizuală: After each flight, visually inspect the EDF unit, especially the rotor blades, for any signs of damage, cracks, or debris accumulation.
- curatenie: 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.
- Rulmenți motor: Periodically check the motor bearings for smooth operation. If excessive noise or resistance is noted, the motor may require servicing or replacement.
- Securitatea montajului: Ensure all mounting screws and fasteners holding the EDF unit in the aircraft remain tight.
