ELECTRIC JETS JOIN TOP GUN

So, I was sitting around one day a few weeks ago, just thinking about how quickly the hobby and sport of model aviation is evolving, and I wondered if there was anyone thing I might be able to do to boost it up a bit. Then it hit me! We have Top Gun—a world-renowned event that hosts 160 or more entries and gets coverage from just about every media source on the planet. And what’s newer or more exciting than the huge number of super looking and flying electric ducted-fan jets (EDFs) that have recently come onto the market? When you think of it, even from a short distance, these newer foamie models are difficult to tell apart from the fiberglass models. The color schemes are awesome, and some of the modified schemes can only be described as incredible.

When Glen from RC Plane Stands reached out about a review, however, I knew as soon as I browsed their website that I would be receiving something I would use a lot, maybe even daily.
