My first Ducted Fan
Is a Top Gun Aircraft F-15, I love it.
I got a GP F-15 Propjet to practice on first. I think the TGA DF flies better.
The TG F-15 is fast enough, stable and predictable if you have flown a jet of any kind. I'm told it was originally flown on a .46 DF, This design has evolved into a very clean bird. Get one and see for yourself.
Sure Looks awesome climbing away from the runway. Just like a real one...
Honestly, My first flight ended in a flameout due to a blown plug <extra lean takeoff>
I dead sticked it back on the runway in one piece on my first flight ever with a DF! Nuff Said.

hmmm
The TGA F-15 is a great flying DF-
My flameout ended up with the jet vs sandbag= I lost...
The Byron version takes off more quickly and has a lower top speed if that helps-
Good luck,
james

The tga f15 flies very well. But olny under power. I dead sticked my second flight due to a lean needle setting. I got lucky and made the field with a little damage to the mains and nose gear. The nice thing about this jet is that it will not snap or drop a wing when it stalls. It will just fall out of the sky like a rock with a small parachute. Overall, I don't think you could find a better jet than this for your first one. With a dynamax fan and os 91 it is very fast. If you build it lite, it will take off easy and will have great vertical ability. Try to keep it under 11 pounds.
