It looks like a Zagi that's been converted to a ducted fan unit , and its worth less than ZERO!

I think it looks like something tried to build from scratch.. And if you found it in a trunk of a car, it probally is junk. A experiment gone wrong.
I do see the GWS ducted fan motor on it.

Definitely a small, homemade flying wing (white foam) with a GWS 50 (or 75?) ducted fan. There appears to be the remnants of a speed control and/or micro receiver there too.

I'm guessing that if you were using this type of stuff, you might have saved youself $10 to $12 when you found it. Other than that, sorry.... [&o]

New prices: GWS 50 ducted fan and motor - about $18. GWS micro receiver with crystal - $28. Mini ESC - about $15.

The stuff looks pretty beat though, that's why I'm saying $10 to $12.

I seem to remember seeing an ARF setup like that somewhere...

that particular one has seen MUCH better days. The pic showing the speed controller/RX (yep its both in one... crazy thing is 2 channel aileron and throttle if its the one I'm thinking of.) shows the thing has been mangled, repaired and then mangled again.

If anything on it is useful... it will be the DF unit (which I think is about half the power of the smaller GWS one..) See the Cox Estes Sky Rangers models... it barely a step above thier flying wing with a DF unit.
