Default RE: Slow stick Forum!!

OK SS flyers. Has anyone tried to mount a ducted fan on a SS? I'm thinking that it would be a hoot, just to hear it scream? The only reasonable ducted fan I can find is a 40 amp unit so I'm thinking its a bit large. Gonna try to find a 20 or 25 amp unit and give it a try.
Keep in mind....it's a SLOW stick.....not a FAST stick. The original design with its big floppy foam wing with positive incidence has a severe problem flying in windy conditions and at high air speeds. The wing starts fluttering over its span from tip to tip and if you don't slow down it will be reduced to destruction and lay at your feet in so many chards of red & white foam and a stick & motor. You're asking a lot of the design to go with an EDF. Hope I'm not busting your bubble !!!
