Anyone built this one yet? I am using the 2W20 motor with the 6904 fan with castle creations 125 controller and 3700 4s. The video shows the canards operational, but the instructions show them glued. Also, in high alpha, the canards should flip opposite their usual operation for high speed. Has anyone tried a gyro for this?

I built one in October. Used the hardware from a destroyed Panther. Figured I'd throw another $60 at Wingsmakers EDFs. Amazingly it took off from a grass strip. Isn't as fast as the Panther, but I found it more stable at full throttle. Alas, after 3 flights I put it into the trees and lost some of the landing gear. Impossible to hand launch. It would stove-pipe. So I hooked up a bungee and voila... It was aloft again! Much faster without the gear and even more stable. I'm happy.

Have one on the bench now- Doing the stock factory setup and a complete kit , with duct fan all servos etc- will use a 3 cell 2100 lipo and 35 amp ESC and small receiver , vid shows this as a little screamer that can fly slow with nose up - Guess we will seee in a few days
Still working on Lazy Bee elec to get it to fly about walking speed and a Me Komet 44in almost ready then the 8 ft Sr Telemaster ARF with 26 Zenoah then the Sr Kadetr for nosewheel change then Hobbco Trainer to change to smaller motor then J3 Cub to add another motor , and then get another big trainer ready for my grandson a 56 incher, then mabe all the hander planes will be done
As I make RC Skydivers I need the Sr Kadet and Telemaster for drop planes
