A few shots of my HET electric ducted fan F18 flying at Chobham Common, 12/8/07.

Its running a 6904 fan, 2w20 700w motor, castle creations 60A esc, and a flightpower 4S 3700 pack. Safe flight times are 6-7 minutes with no heat problems. It uses 2 x metal geared cirrus servos on the al flying elevons, and the radio is a Futaba 6EXP 2.4 GHz setup, powered via a Medusa BEC.

With a slight breeze hand launch is easy, and although the video doesn't quite catch it, the glide and landing are not too tricky; you can flare into a nice slow high alpha position just at the last moment.

Thanks to Luis for the video
