My reasons are that a family member flew it in the first Gulf War and for some time after and also because I like it. I haven't seen a kit of this airplane though. Is there one of decent size on the market? Being a twin I know it won't be for a new jet flier like me but it isn't something that I'll complete for quite a while. If there is a kit out there I'd like to take a look at it and see what I'm getting myself in to. If it isn't something suitable for electric that's ok, I'd still like to know about it. Thanks.

I too am thinking of going EDF with the Der Jet prowler seeing the 100 JF will do around 17 lbs of thrust installed and two of em would put out 34 lbs and Push the model just fine.
My concern is the outlet diameter of the exhaust, that more defines what fan that will fit than anything
