After reading the postings I find that some of you consider ducted
fan modeling a bit harder than it needs to be. I have a Violett
Viojet that is probably the most well manufactured piece of
equipment I own. The BVM (Nelson) .81 engine is also a work of art.
Contrary to popular opinion, you don't need to run the engine to death
every time you fly. Most ducted fan flying is done at a rich needle
setting and if you aren't getting 5 to 10 flights on a plug, your
doing something wrong. I know a normal engine might go a year on the
same plug, but look at the performance difference. I have NO problems
with vibration, noise (using a Violett Pipe), or heat. Ducted fan
models DO take a bit more maintenance than your average trainer, but
so does a helicopter. In short, don't knock ducted fans cause you've
seen somebody having problems with theirs. I'v seen guys have problems
with trainers too.I do agree; however, that fans are NOT for beginners.
The speeds that modern fan jets fly require a bit more than the normal
amount of craftsmanship and flying ability. Anyone who can handle a
modern pattern ship, should be able to handle any of the jets I've
seen. Keep Em flying!
