ducted fans, follow on from thread2-58711

[CoastWater]

Closed thread2-58711 has some really good info on ducted fans. Following on from FlyingJeepster’s posting, I am also trying to get hold of a copy of R. W. Hovey's book, "Ducted Fans for Light Aircraft" – or at least the relevant pages in order to determine the correct shape for the duct for use in a hovercraft. I am in New Zealand and can’t seem to find it anywhere in the country. Can anyone help?

Re: Hoveys book.

I had my name in at Amazon.com (they will inform you if an old/used copy becomes available)for about two years. No luck.

It appears to be pretty rare:

all 3 listings might be the same copy, though

Price is $149.98 ! !
Lets see now . . the price of gold is about ___ an ounce.

Oh, btw...

I checked all three entries, and it's the same, single copy of that book.

So, get it before someone snaps it up! ;-)

Besides, $150 is only one month without Starbucks; surely, it's worth that small sacrifice.

Thanks for your help. Unfortuntley I have been away and now the book seems to have gone! Oh well, I'll get the info some other way ...

Hovey is now available at Amazon.com - used - for $200.00 a copy.
