Default HyperFlow Foamy Jet

I bought a HyperFlow fan and stuck it in my own design fan fold foamy jet. I will have to wait for some weather to see how it flies, but I think it will do just fine. It ended up weighing 15.5 oz, which should give about a one to one thrust ratio. Holding it up with full throttle that seems to be what it has. It's not modeled after anything in particular, I just drew it and cut it out. I set up the controls using elevons, and the elevators and ailerons move together. Here's what I used:

Hyperflow Fan
Ammo 24-45-3790 Brushless Motor
25 Amp Speed control
Apogee 3C 1500mah pack (20C)

Specs with this set up claim 221W, 19.9A, 15.9 oz. thrust. I'll post a flight report when I get it into the air. May not be for awhile, since it is snowing here and winter is upon us.
