What a horrible noise.

I remember those. I also remember small, radio-control versions being quite popular for a time in the 1980's when small ducted fans for RC jets came into play.

Here's a selection of photos of both model and real aircraft (Click Here)...

I used to have one. I don't remember who made it but it was a blast to fly. I would love to have a real one.

PS... moving this thread to the "air race designer" section where it is more appropriate

Wow! That thing sure looks touchy in the pitch axis with that short-coupled layout and long nose.
