My first jet was based on an article that was released in FMT 11/98 where Dirk Juras built an F-20. I changed several things, like the airfoil and that I built a ribbed wing instead of a foam one, but the general concept remained the same.

The first flight was rather short, as the ducts couldn’t withstand the vacuum from the EDF and collapsed mid flight. After reinforcement the F-20 performed well.
