Here is an idea.

What if a trainer was developed that looked like the Facet 1200 but was a ducted fan for beginners. As long as it had light wing loading, trainer airfoil, ect.. Would that not make a good trainer given that it has reduced prop to finger attributes. Or did I just jump off the fence..!

Just thinking... http://home.cogeco.ca/~kmcleod22/kits/ksfac12.htm

P.S. I have never owned a ducted fan so I am not failure with the difficulties of starting ect ect ect..
