Default V Diamond EDF Conversion

I have been experimenting with an EDF conversion on the V Diamond. With the Wemotec 480 fan, Mega 16/15/3 and a 2250 mah lipo the jet is a solid flyer. Not fast, but a joy to fly. I moved the battery forward and the nose gear rearward to help in getting the CG correct. Check out the snapshots.

The paint job looks really good. I like this one better than how it comes out of the box.

hey that's really a nice plane. i've just ordered one, but i'm gonna keep it as a pusher. there are a few people making these 'cat' style planes and i noticed one on ductedfans.com that was a foamy ducted fan also. i was thinking of getting it but there was a lot of hassel for me to order stuff from them it seemed (money transfer etc) so i didn't bother.
