Beretta EDF Park
JetAdvances in brushless
motor and Li-Po battery
technology have made a
huge impact to the
popularity of Electric
Ducted Fan models. With
batteries now capable of
providing massive amounts
of power for their
diminutive size, and
motors spinning faster
than ever thought
imaginable, there’s
been no better time to
enter the world of the
electric jet. Although
not aimed at the outright
novice, Beretta’s low
wing loading offers a
wide and safe speed range
that’s ideal for sport
fl ying. Moreover, the
more experienced fl yer
can use a hotter
powertrain, which will
provide unlimited
vertical acceleration and
‘seat of the pants’
performance. Constructed
from tough EPP foam and
utilising full span
carbon wing tubes,
Beretta should prove a
little more robust than
your average foamy,
whilst its removable
wings make it compact
enough to fi t inside the
smallest family
hatchback... a true
pocket rocket! Bags of
wing area and large
control surfaces make
this model a real delight
to fly. My simple
take-off dolly is
fabricated from 20mm
plastic water pipe and
leftover undercarriage
assemblies.While a little
larger than the average
park jet, Beretta
dismantles to fi t in a
small hatchback.

in. two-stroke Dynamic
duo Regular readers will
no doubt be familiar with
the dogfight double plans
that have appeared as the
centrefold of RCM&E over
the last five or six
years. The last of these
(MiG 25 Foxbat and
English Electric
Lightning) appeared in
the May ‘08 issue, and
ed. Graham thought it was
about time I penned
another battling pair.
The question was: what
would the subjects be? I
couldn’t come up with
anything so Graham and I
sat down over a cuppa to
come up with suitable
candidates. Lots of tea,
lots of head scratching,
but no ideas came to the
fore - likely pairings
covering the major
conflicts (W.W.I to the
jet era) had all been
done. At this rate the
MiG and Lightning looked
like being the last of my
paired plans - the end of
an era loomed large! The
answer was brilliantly
simple - forget warbirds
and do something else!
Er... but what? With a
twinkle in his eye it was
clear that Graham had a
cunning plan; a plan that
featured his favourite
aeroplane. “How about a
racing duo?” says he,
“One of them could be a
Midget Mustang? Oh, and
no pressure old chap,
but can you have ‘em
done for the next
issue?” Bearing in mind
that I was already
embroiled in the design
of the Lysander that will
be appearing in the RCM&E
Special later this year,
I was faced with quite a
challenge. There was a
twist in the tail, too.
My ed. enforced remit for
the designs would include
getting away from
electric power and using
- I can’t believe I
agreed to do this -
horrible, smelly, oily
two-strokes. Yuck! Mind
you, despite my electric
leanings I had to take a
balanced view here,
since not everybody
appreciates electric
flight. Plenty of petrol
heads reel in disgust
when I bring out another
electric, so I reckoned
that getting my hands
dirty would redress the
balance a bit.
