First off you guy's are the greatest thing to happen to the hobby in recent memory. I have been building and fly plaines for some time. Got away from the hobby for a few years, till I saw my first multicopter. Then there was no turning back. FPV, OSD, KK2, Hex, Tri, Quads. Now this wing. I have built 3 of them now, pusher, tractor, now EDF. Started on the FT spitfire last night.
Had a EDF unit laying around. Built a foam board shroud/tube to fit around it. Built a wing then carefully cut the wings center section to fit the tube. Neutral thrust line. Fly's OK, wants to climb with full throttle. It may be the shape of the back of the tube?? As with most EDF units it needs full throttle for launch, then you can go to half for flying. But the sound is very cool. The EDF unit could use a more powerful motor, but I just wanted to see if it would work, and it did.
