Balsa USA Enforcer with ducted fan conversion kit
O.S. .91DF large head with Byro-jet fan package

I bought this bird RTF from friend and club member Kyle Walker.
He made it look easy to fly, and after a dozen flights or so, he was
ready to sell.  It had been sitting in my house undisturbed for the last few
weeks, and I finally flew it 9/10/00 at a nearby fly-in event.
It flew great, considering the surrounding we had to deal with...trees on
three sides and a short runway, not to mention a bad crosswind.  But
the Enforcer cut through the wind like nothing, and landed very smoothly
at a moderately slow speed for a ducted fan jet.  I was very impressed.
Will post some video of it flying as soon as I can, so stay
tuned.

Here you can see the simple setup of engine/fan/pipe combo.  Easy
to work on and diagnose trouble, if it ever occurs.  Very easy to clean
as well.  You can get the Enforcer kit from Balsa USA for under $100,
and if you poke around on the web you can find the conversion kits for
around $25.  Anyone with intermediate skills can build one, but I didn't
want to wait, and the price was right, so I bought mine ready to fly.  If
you're interested in finding one built or in kit form, be sure to check out

Here's a shot of the MGA pilot and make-shift cockpit.  I did a
screen grab on one of my flight sims and printed off the cockpit
art and cut it to size and glued it in the Enforcer.  Crude, but effective.
