Take your time man! It took me 5 years of hard flying to even get to a ducted fan, I creeped into turbines and they are an amazing machine to build and fly but very $$$. Hone your skills and work up to it. I lost my first ducted fan on its first flight and it cost me $2500 and a lot of hours. I am now working on a plane that has been on the bench for a year and is sitting at around $14,000 invested, so the owner tells me. E-mail me if you have any questions, would be glad to answer them and help set you on the path of burning jet-A at over 200 mph!!!! Here are a couple pictures of the systems that are employed on a turbine aircraft! Good luck!
