SMALL-FIELD Ducted-Fan Models: A few columns back I
shared a picture of Tres Wright of Forney, Texas, with his little
ducted-fan delta SuperMite.
Inspired by that model, Tres decided to take the next logical step
and develop a jet of his own design that used the same power
package: a Feigao brushless motor mated to a GWS EDF40 ductedfan
unit. The result is a nice-looking model that resembles the
Stealth fighter.

ENDLESS POWER: When solar cells first emerged, I began
dreaming about the possibility of building a model airplane that could
fly all day long. That was long before practical electric-powered

“THAT’S TOO BIG for my small field.” How many times have
you looked at a model and said to yourself, “I would like one of
those but it is too large for my small-field site”

ONE OF MY favorite things to do in this
hobby is attend a fly-in or a gathering of
other modelers. There is something special
about seeing other people’s airplanes and
sharing information face to face. The social
aspects of such gatherings are special for
me.
