Hello again to all our customers and we hope you have had a great seasons flying, maybe we can get a few more good days aviating in before the end of the year.

Canberra 70 Maiden!

To start with some great news – customer Greg Minden reports that he has just maidened his Canberra 70 over in Las Vegas Nevada and what a great build – and the first Canberra 70 to be finished in the classic red, white and blue test scheme.  Nice job Greg! 

Canberra flies in Canberra!

More news of a maiden flight - this time from Australia, and a beautiful build of our Canberra 50.  Build credits go to Gordon Bruce, and son Andrew for the piloting.  Great to see the RAAF scheme and this lovely jet is actually flying in Canberra - there won't be many times we get to say that..  More pics in the customer gallery section on the Canberra 50 page ( likewise for Greg's Canberra 70 build on our Canberra 70 page)

Our own Canberra 50 and Canberra 70 original builds are still going strong, in fact more flights this year than ever – we are posting video on Instagram #englishelectricmodels, you will also find some video of our new Buccaneer for twin 50mm EDF.  The first Buccaneer flight was …  short to be honest – but now the C of G is in a good place it is stable and impressive, despite the size at 125cm long.   More to follow!

Lightning 70 Stickers just in! 

We also just have delivery of new stickers for Lightning 70 which we got printed at the request of a customer, and these have turned out really well from our friends at StickerApp, and will work a treat for an Oracover / Profilm finish.

Happy building and flying!

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.
