Here are some pictures of my electric ducted fan Saab Viggen. Pressing on any of the small images gets you a larger version, and more information on the plane is available here.

The mandrel, over which the fuselage duct was laminated.

The components before assembly.

The plane, assembled but uncovered.

Plane now covered and ready for test flight.

Proud owner / designer, immediately prior to test launch.

Deep breath, run like hell and she's off!

But only for a few seconds before the ground intervened. So, back home for repairs and modifications and she flies!
