rgburril asked: Never seen a 7 foot long electric jet. How much C4 could you carry in one?
You haven't looked hard enough I guess. Here's my buddies giant scale electric A-10, 10 foot wingspan. Two 12 cell packs for the twin 125 mm fans. It sounds sooo sweet. Our club isn't that far from you, take a ride up sometime. He flies this as well as his BVM Bandit, F-16, F-18 turbines and more.
Not sure what the payload for this one would be, for a one way trip configured properly I'm sure it could pack a few extra pounds.
So what were the 7 foot turbine planes these folks were going to use? I only recall one story a few years back, and they were ducted fan, this one specifically. Doesn't look 7 feet long, and I doubt it could haul less than an extra pound of weight, although the guy had purchased more than that (fake C4 of course).
