Hi all... An older guy getting back into it...

[DMartin_nj]

I have flown airplanes for 12 years in the past. Stopped in 1999 (18) years ago. I wanted to get back into it 4 years ago but had to stop again to save money. Now? It's time again. I really miss flying and just finished my scratch build foam board v-tail ducted fan. Have not flown it just yet... Will very soon...

Admiral Thank you much

Smoggie thank you too and yes. It's my first foam build, not the greatest but it should fly just fine. It's a park jet, Eclipse 400.

The model looks very nice, is it your own design?

Maybe be careful on launch. Those high mounted fans can cause quite a bit of pitch down at low airspeed and high power.

No not my own design, I found it online 4 years ago when I wanted to get back into it. Another person designed it from a real jet. He had free PDF blue prints.
