Default RE: HET F18 700mm span any good?

Juan,
Thanks for the reply. I noticed it needed to be assembled, but am ok with building, just don't get the time.

My flying is pretty good and I do like a bit of speed (I fly DS gliders)!

I dont think I can grasp with all the terminolgy, so would be getting an established setup.
The only EDF I really know of is the Habu. How does the HET F18 compare with one of those for speed? Is a Habu clased as fast?

I saw a video on youtube of someone underarm launching a Habu, and having one that I can hand launch really appeals to me.
I have seen mixed messages about the F18, some say it will hand launch, others say it needs a bungee to launch.

Regards
Rodders
