Hi everyone. Something I have wanted to do for a while is dip my toe into EDF planes. I am a complete noob to EDFs, and as I have read around, they are quite different to fly as far as taking longer to get power spooled up, so you need to be intentional. I have rationed myself out of attempting to build one thus far by telling myself that they are inefficent, hard to handle, and for crazy folks.
I would prefer to scratchbuild, but I am not set on it. I see that there is the Viggen FT build as well. I don't care so much about looks as much as I do about it being forgiving of my inexperience with EDFS and to maximize time flying instead of repairing. I've seen a couple of straight wing
traineresque" looking EDFs across the interwebz and I found a few designs that looked like they may be worth considering, I was just wondering what you all though.
Maybe something like this with an airfoil instead of a flat wing?
