Nice job on the air frames but it looks likeSkymaster still hasn't learned how to make proper, area ruled intake ducting.
Anton, BVM is the US distributor for Skymaster, right? You should contact them to learn how to do proper intake ducting. The ducting in the photos above are very ineffecient, waste energy, and will cause reduced flight times. EDFs fly better and longer with proper intake ducting.

Dear Sir
yes, Thank you for suggested, do not worry, i played the DF Jets over 15years from 1985" i had more experanced for the DF jets,
this not correct inlet, my workers did the simple inlet for test fly only, these worker never to know how important for intake ducting before EDF section, i had test the thrust , it is over 5kg thrust , no problem for maiden fly, and i will redesign the big diameter of inlet for fit the Danymax fan,
after test fly by EDF then we will conversion to turbine power and test fly again soon,
before deliver the F-18f to customers will change the new inlet correctly, TKS
Best Regards
Anton
