Enough power?
I was thinking about making a airplane (2D) out of foam board and mounting 1 computer case fan (25cfm each) on the top of each wing. Would this have enough power to keep it in flight?

RE: Enough power?
Dunno
I.T. should be enough as long as you make the plane the right size for the motors.
I saw a thread a few years ago where a guy did just that. H emade a "Delta" for the wing and taped another triangle below it at right angles for the fuselage - sortof looked like a papre plane.
He used 2 channels on his radio - one for the rudder (which being mounted below the fuse meant it induced rol in the right direction as if he was using aileron) and elevator.
