Troels,

Wow EDF Afterburners actually exist!
I was only screwing around when I drew that picture in 30 seconds and thought I'd get laughed at for for being an idiot!! :)
I watched the video and a few others plus had a bit of a read. It's actually all quite interesting.

But I don't think our club would like something like that in the air, incase it came down in the scrub and caused a bush fire - like a Lipo did when I smashed my favourite HK Extra 300L nose first into 6ft high scrub south of the field. I think I've even got ensuring panic on video somewhere as we tried to put fire out with our drink bottles and coke-cola. The club now have a fire extinguisher and water in the field equipment box.

B!LL!

They do Exist, if we Both had the insane idea, then they must exist (I drew mine up too, before doing a wild search).

They exist just like UFOs (Unknown Flying Object) it's just called UET (Unknown EDF Technology)

But with that little performance "boost" (10%) the only up-side is the SOUND, every gram/ounce add to the EDF plane is a Down-side.

Yeah I think that would be fun too.
I must check with my club committee where stand on Turbines, EDF Afterburners and Rockets.
I've still got a couple of small rockets and motors stashed up in the rafters of my garage/shed/workshop. I must check 'em out.
