EnglishElectricModels Spring 2025

English Electric Models - Classic Kits of Classic Jets! Bringing 50s, 60s, 70s jets back into the skies with great part kits for EDF!

Firstly hello again to all our customers.   

Well it has been a long old winter in the UK but the sun is making the occasional appearance now…we just flew our first EDF flights this year in March – and gave the honour of first jet flight to the granddaddy of the fleet, our origina Canberra 50, now in its 11^th year of flying and going better than ever.  A little spring clean helped, taking the fans out and cleaning out the shrouds with cotton buds.  The dirt that collects from grass field flying accumulates in the fan ring and can shave some rpm off the fan - so a clean duct is a happy duct..now we are back on for monster loops and big climbs!

Finally we have put a proper website page devoted to our little Mirage 50.  The first batch of these sold out before we mentioned it on the website, with kits going to Germany, Switzerland and Australia.  We just had the vac forms delivered for the latest batches of Mirage, Hornet 50, Canberra 70 and we right now have stock of all kits available.  It’s not too late to get some building in before Summer arrives!

International customers are embracing the ‘two kits into one box’ offer as it really saves on  international postage. The 50 size models will fit two kits into our standard size box, the postage is driven by box size rather than weight and we will offer a discount for two kits.  Canberra 50 and Lightning 50 offer is shown below, if you fancy another combo drop us a line englishelectricjets@gmail.com

We have some great sticker sets for Mirage 50 and Hornet 50 available printed by our friends at StickerApp.  They go really well over Oracover finishes – might do a set for Lightning 50 next..

Starting with our Canberra Electric Ducted Fan models, we are bringing an expanding range of kits and plans to the market to support hobbyists who want the satisfaction of building their own model together with proven flight performance.

We love the classic jets, especially from the 50s and 60s, and are working to bring as many to the skies as possible.

Our kits are Part Kits, which provide which provides the major and time-consuming components needed to build a scale R/C EDF jet, including laser and CNC cut balsa and ply components, vac form canopies and carbon tube.   The builder provides sheet balsa for wing and fuselage skinning and glues and finishing materials of choice.

You supply RC gear and motors and fans of choice. For those starting out in EDF, the choice of equipment can be bewildering so we provide guidance on fan/battery/motor combinations that are flight proven and well matched to the model.

Innovative design and construction methods guarantee accurate assembly.  Comprehensive plans and instruction notes guide you at every step of the build.  All our designs are well tested and have excellent flight performance.
