Default Any English Electric Lightning lovers out there?

Hi Chris,it is built from my own drawings.
I built one before for prop. pusher electric to see if it would work,before going along the EDF route.
Flew very well,and gave me the encouragement I needed to design an EDF version.

The model is about a week away from test flying.
All being well,it will be made into a comprehensive wood kit.

I think this is possibly the first EDF version ever!

Flying weight all up, just 2.5 lbs.

Here's an underside view. The rear of the fuse is removable for fan access.The battiries and ESC are under the belly,and the receiver and reciever battery is up in the nose under the canopy.
