DIY F-8 Crusader RC Jet with Ducted Fan and Pusher Prop : Which One is Better

In this video we're going to build from scratch and fly a legendary jet fighter, the F-8 Crusader
I will also test it using pusher prop and EDF for the propulsion system
we'll see which one is better.

I'll be relying on trusty 5mm Depron foam as the main material. Don't worry, I've prepared downloadable PDF plans on my website in both A4 and A0 sizes for your convenience. And the best part? This amazing F-8 Crusader will be brought to life by the talented Roy using my plans!

I design the plans with Blender and Pepakura Designer. This model is a bit bigger in scale than my other jets. Because I have to make sure the wing surface area is big enough and I just love bigger models, it can fly slow.
