Default Help on Thrust Reversers

Hey Guys,

I will soon be in the process of building a dual ducted fan Citation, and I am thinking about thrust reversers on the nacelles. The fans will be tractors and housed within civillian-style jet pods mounted aft of the main wing in front of the tail.

Has anyone built reversers? What type of material should be used, and how much force will I need to open them? Will 10 lbs on an air piston work? How effective will they be?

Thanks for any assistance!
