RE: Space Shuttle Depron RC Model - Scratch..
For the fan to provide sufficient thrust you will need 100% FSA for the inlet area. I have seen many flights with this model. It was flown in the Cardinal Football stadium last March at the Electric flight Expo. Flew very well, took off is a very short distance. Had good vertical performance and was some what aerobatic. Good luck with yours.
