Default 30mm edf info/help

Ok heres the deal. I have a collection of planes and it just hit me that none are ducted.
I really like the sound and looks of the ducted jets, so I want to give it a whirl.

I built a few of the parkjets (thanks Steve) and of different scales, but all of them are outrunner/pusher.

The small F-15 I built has a 14 inch wing span and this is the one I want to go ducted with. I believe the GWS 30mm will do just fine, however the brushed motor (10mm) for it only has 21gr. of thrust. I would like to get close to 1:1
I plan on an AUW of 6oz to 8 oz.
I believe I will mod the housing for a 12mm feigao to fit.

Question- Has anyone put a Feigao in the 30mm fan, and what kind of amps, thrust are/were you getting? And which motor were you using/recommend?

Question- Would it give better results to use 2 fans/motors in this setup?

Question- I have tried to search, without good results, on setting up an edf, tips and tricks, and so on. Any good links for me to do some reading?

Thanks for any help here.
