im keenly following this project..... excellent and impressive work so far i must say. soon id like to get into scratch building SCALED rc aircraft & turbines (especially turbofans :D) and this provides much inspiration and motivation for me. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Amazing project, and phenomenal dedication. I'm keen to find out much more about this, do you have any threads on RCGroups or RCUniverse? Is that a commercial moulded airframe or all your own work too - looks superb.
What about controlling the puffer jets with gyros possibly together with an Ardupilot or similar? As the jet slows below stall the Ardu could take over stability tasks.
If you are using one EDF then that must be a huge ducted fan.

Everything is scratch built, there is a thread on RCU
under jets called Harrier flight tests begin, for some reason I cannot post the link here.

@erkq We have developed our own stabilization computer, I don't know if the other auto pilots would work with this or not

@killerbee2T Very cool! At least you're not trying to hand-fly it! Best of luck. What an incredible project.

@erkq Thank you, Yeah, it's impossible to fly it without the computer
