Must be about JHH size-50"WS. Glass weight is what, around 7/8oz sqyd total lay-up? Looks good. Pretty scale, except the intakea little on the large size.
I'm Scratch building one for a JetFan 90 on 12's with around 13lb thrust. Length 63" WS 64". Not sure on weight yet, but some where around 14-15 lbs. Just a touch bigger than a BVM F-86. I'm using Robart 557RS nose gear (2.75" wheel) and 530RS mains (3.25" wheels). Here's a pic or 2 of mine before I cut it off the plug. I was shooting for fuse weight of around 25oz, but it came out at 29oz.
Here's a couple of links for some JetFan 90 F-86's

RE: f 86 e.d.f.
My guess was pretty close, JHH F-86 is WS 50" Length 50" You have to figure mine is 30% larger than yours, and needs more fibeglass.
And as far as weight, with retracts, struts, wheels, 8 servos, 12s for batts, fan, an other misc fasteners, that in itself comes to over 8lb. If I can get the airframe, less all components to come in at 6-6.5lbs, I will be happy.
Funny thing, the difference between RCU and RCG, if you want the latest on EDF, you do RCG, AT RCG if someone is looking to go with turbines, they send them here, to RCU. Nice thing having 2 great sites.

RE: f 86 e.d.f.
OK, time to update this one! 
I have a craving anymore for a 90mm F-86, and this one seems to be worth a shot. Has anybody got one flying? Agree with Cooler that the intake looks a touch on the too-big scale, but otherwise looks pretty good.
So - any news here would be very welcome. Thanks in advance!
