You're thinking of the ducted fan kit by Bob Parkinson. It looks like it still might be available.

RE: Avro Arrow model ???
Gents,
I'd love a real reasonably scale Avro Arrow. I have the Bob Parkinson one. It is a squint scale and designed as sport plane. It is powered by a Byron fan.
The Fhyber model is closer to scale. It is just fattened in the fuse to fit the fan. But, I seen one in Calgary built with the supplied wings and retracts. It doesn't fly. The retracts are too heavy and the wing is so thin, it makes no lift.
In MAAC magazine, a bunch of fellows in Ontario redesigned the Fhyber models kit. They made thicker wings and used standard, light gear. It fly great. I tried to get the mode from them. No luck. They didn't keep the plans.
There is a fellow in Ontario that make a 40 and 60 size set of pusher jet plans. I have copies of both. Nicely done. He has a website with flight video. They fly well in the videos.
If any wants to design a real model, I have the AVRO 3d drawings scanned into the computer. Scanover program can make a CAD file from the raster files. From there, one could design a great scale model for either fans or turbines. Any interest?

Gday Ewald, whatever happened to your Harrier project?.... How large an Arrow do you have in mind, I would love a true scale version for myself but no time really for scratch building in forseeable future. I remember Doug Hyslip built a large D/F version for the Arrow movie a few years back, I wonder if he has any plans...?

I still have your CT-114 awaiting its turn for a dust off and engine upgrade, I reckon possibly the new Wren MW-44 gold might be a good match there.
Cheers-

Hey Marty
Good to hear from you, yeah the wren 44 would be perfect for the Tutor, I have been looking at the 44 for another project of mine, looks like a cool little engine. I will shoot Doug an email, it would be to get that than start from scratch, it looks really scale. If not I will build a ducted fan size glassed up foamy to test the aircraft out, if all works well I will make a larger one. I hear the take off speeds and landing speeds are a problem due to the thin wing. A new kind of flap has been developed here at work and this flap also works on delta wings so I will test this on the ducted fan model and go from there.
As far as the Harrier is concerned, I have a guy making some custom electronics up to make it more stable, we should be testing in a few weeks.
