Product Description
"The facts about wildlife resurgence that Sterba present in his mind-bending dispatch from the new world of "people-wildlife conflicts" are startling and staggering." - Chicago Tribune
"Smart and provocative...Nature Wars is a counterintuitive take on a social problem, and the tone is knowing and smart, not sarcastic or snide." - Chicago Tribune
"This is an excellent introduction to a "problem" that is often one of human perception." - Booklist, starred review
"Jim Sterba employs humor and an eye for the absurd to document the sometimes bizarre conflicts that arise as a consequence of America's transformed relationship with nature... An eye-opening take on how romantic sentimentalism about nature can have destructive consequences." - Kirkus, starred review
"Sterba provocatively and persuasively argues that just at the moment when humankind has distanced itself irrevocably from nature, its behavior patterns have put people in conflict with a natural world that they don't know how to deal with...A valuable counternarrative to the mainstream view of nature-human interaction." - Publisher's Weekly
"In this elegant and compelling tour of America's mutating connections with its land and wildlife, Jim Sterba uses wit and insight to reveal new and unintended consequences of human sprawl and the ways in which they have shaped today's relationships with Nature." -John H Adams , Founding Director , Natural Resources Defense Council
"It's a jungle out there - and we're living in it. Jim Sterba's Nature Wars is a smart, stylish and altogether provocative account of how we are confounded by that which we claim to hold so dear - Mother Nature and all her creatures moving in right next door." --Tom Brokaw
"Jim Sterba describes a cockeyed country whose denizens spend billions to imitate "nature" in their own small domains, little realizing that their excess creates an environment to which other species are fatefully drawn in increasing, sometimes alarming numbers; that they themselves are the creatures who throw this shared habitat out of whack. An unusual feat of deep and sustained reporting, Nature Wars is full of surprises and marked, from first page to last, by uncommon sense, graceful writing and precious wit." – Joseph Lelyveld, author of Great Soul: Mahatma Gandhi and His Struggle with India
"Quite unintentionally and with little awareness by its inhabitants, over the past century the Eastern United States has become one of the most heavily forested and densely populated regions in world history. Nature Wars explores this marvelous story of environmental recovery and the opportunities and challenges that it brings to its residents and the entire globe in fascinating detail and with great insight by Jim Sterba. This is a great book and a story with lessons for us all." – David Foster, Ecologist and Director of the Harvard Forest, Harvard University
"If there is one lesson to be learned from Jim Sterba's book, it is: Be careful what you wish for. Having decimated our planet's natural state, we are blithely over-compensating, over –correcting and overturning the balance of nature yet again. Nature, as seen by most of us through a double glazed picture window revealing a manicured lawn….but what's that moose being chased by a coyote being chased by a black bear, doing there? Read Nature Wars and weep. Or at least, stop and think." – Morley Safer
"In this book, Jim Sterba has given us a fascinating, powerful, and important lesson in why we should be careful when we mess with Mother Nature." – Winston Groom, author of Forrest Gump
"At last someone's grappling with the elephant in the room – or rather the deer, the coyote, the beaver, the bear, all these damn animals crowding into our living space. Sterba's book may strike some as observational comedy but he's deadly serious. Every word rings true. Nature is vengeful. All I can say is, he better not take a walk in his backyard without a shotgun." – John Darnton, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of Almost a Family
"A wonderful, thought-provoking, important book that will overturn everything you thought you knew about wildlife in America. Jim Sterba confronts the shibboleths that make man-versus-beast conflicts so vexing, divisive, and fascinatingly complex." – David Baron, author of The Beast in the Garden
"It's a truly original piece of work, often – I would say – inspired, told in a pitch-perfect voice, just north of sarcastic and south of appalled. At any event, a terrific read on a subject that is all around us yet largely unobserved." Ward Just, author of Rodin's Debutante
"Anything Jim Sterba writes is worth reading--and his latest, Nature Wars, is terrific. Sterba casts a reporter's sharp eye on a little noticed war unfolding under our noses, in our own backyards. We've messed with nature for way too long, and nature is getting even." --Joseph L. Galloway, co-author of We Were Soldiers Once...and Young and We Are Soldiers Still
"Jim Sterba has done a brilliant job explain how it happens that drivers more often than ever run into deer, wild turkeys fly into speeding car windshields and gorge on newly-planted seed corn, and why golf courses are filled with people chasing geese down the fairways with 5 irons in hand. This informative and beautifully written book gives us the effect of civilization (often well-meaning) on the natural habitat, both flora and fauna. I loved the book and learned a great deal from it." – Peter Duchin, musician and author of Ghost of Chance
"If you love animals and trees and other wonders of the natural world, this book will astonish you. Sterba's great gifts are reportorial energy, out-of-the-box thinking, and an easy, relaxed prose style that makes Nature Wars a pleasure to read, even as its counterintuitive discoveries explode on every page." --Daniel Okrent, author of Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition
"Most Americans now live not in cities but in regrown forests, among at least as many deer as when Columbus landed. Jim Sterba tells us how this came to be and why it isn't all good. In graceful, clear-eyed prose, he explains why we need to relearn how to cut, cull and kill, to restore a more healthy balance to our environment." – Paul Steiger, Editor-in-Chief, ProPublica
"Although few of us realize it, America is at a turning point where we must rethink our most fundamental ideas about nature, animals, and how we live. Fortunately we have a wise and witty guide in Jim Sterba, whose Nature Wars is my favorite kind of read -- a book that affectionately recasts much of what we thought we knew about our nation's past and our relationship to the American wild, while at the same time revealing how intimately we ourselves are a part of nature, but in the most surprising and unexpected ways. In Sterba's hands, your everyday notions about the creatures around you -- whether pests, pets, or magnificent beasts -- will turn into entirely new ways of seeing the world." -Trevor Corson, author of The Secret Life of Lobsters and The Story of Sushi

In one area, I think Sterba gets sucked into the partisanship. In covering debates over the feral cat challenge, he finds that cat loving activists such as Ally Cat Allies can get so vindictively self-righteous that he basically dismisses their demands for a "trap, neuter, and release" solution. I'm sure that some of those activists get nasty, and it's probably true that their approach can't make a serious dent in the problem. But if they can make some contribution, I'd say they're part of the solution.
Overall, Sterba gives a wide-angle, centuries-spanning look at the evolution of America's beastly relations. He's connecting with local leaders, looking for solutions that are smart and balanced rather than ideologically pure.

suitable to some selected (few?) "wild" creatures. Now, as those animals (such as
turkeys, deer, beavers, geese, and more) move into these modified surroundings, humans
will need to learn how to live with the animals that have learned how to live near them.
The story of how the landscape has changed is a story of phases and of who has modified
nature for what purposes. Some of these phases we can only speculate about: (1) before
native Americans; (2) the dominance of Native Americans; (3) the arrival of Europeans; (4)
the spread of modern humans and the build up of farms and farming; (5) the reduction of
farming and the spread of more and more housing with its semi-wild margins around it.
This is also a story of modifying the landscape for whom and for what purposes. The
modifications that Sterba talks about most were predominantly done by humans for the
purposes of building housing, in particular single family dwellings that spread out from
suburbia and into forest, reclaimed farm land, etc. During that process, habitat is
converted into a form that is suitable for a variety of species. The ones Sterba talks
about are white tailed deer, beavers, Canadian geese, and turkeys. But, we should realize
that while these changes *created* habitat suitable for some animals, it also destroyed
habitat that is needed by others. So, it's important to remember that while, as Sterba
says, a few species have increased, many more have declined as human habitation and land
use encroaches open and destroys the habitat that was formerly used by those species.
But, there is more in this book than just humorous stories about humans attempting to deal
with a few species of nuisance animals. Several chapters in this book will encourage you
to think about you relationship to nature, to the landscape, and to the plants and animals
in it. Even the chapter about bird seed and about the increased feeding of wild birds in
the last 50 years is a provocation to think about how we've changed, what our (new) place
is in relation to nature, and so on.
I'd even like to read more about the subjects that Sterba discusses, in particular the
discussion and thoughts about our pets, our feelings towards them, and the way we treat
them. These attitudes have changed over time, especially in the last 50 years or so, and,
of course they vary across cultures. Just this last week, I talked with someone from far
away who told me that in his culture pets are usually not allowed indoors because, after
they've touched you, you are no longer considered clean for prayer. That's a simple
statement about what I'm sure is a much more complex relationship that this person has
with animals, but it's enough to give some hint about what variety there is across
One particular cross cultural topic is Sterba's claim that there are different attitudes
towards and about how we should manage natural recreation areas in Europe and the U.S.
Sterba suggests that in Europe they manage a wider range of landscape types and manage
them more intensely, where as in the U.S. we tend to manage only areas that are "wild and
scenic", leaving the rest for development and commercial use. I just spend several days
in Yosemite National Park in California where arguments over the next management plan
involve years of contention, many court cases, and huge amounts of paper. So, Sterba's
discussion here was especially poignant. And, our management style for the wilderness in
the U.S. is more of a "leave it alone" and a "leave it natural" style compared to the more
care taking and even gardening style in some European countries. Here in the U.S. where
capitalism seems to be a religion, we need "endangered species" acts and "wild and scenic
rivers" acts before we can have the leverage to protect something. Yet surely we know how
valuable these areas are to our well-being.
And, there is more to this book than merely interesting or entertaining reading. These
topics matter for our future. For example, more and more, we encourage our children to
"get an education" so they can "get a good job", which usually means work in a city or
urban area and working in an office sealed against the outside, often with windows that do
not open and with central heating and air conditioning. These same people feel the need
to "recreate" in nature on an infrequent weekend or perhaps a two week camping trip in the
summer. In fact, the same children that we encourage to get the education that will
enable them to find that style of employment, we also take camping, trying to teach them
to appreciate nature, in part because they are likely to see so little of it during their
After reading this book you can expect to have acquired a more nuanced understanding about
what is and is not wild, about different grades and shades of the wildness and the
natural, and about what we mean when we talk about the wild and the domestic aspects of
our world. And, after reading this book, you are likely to have an inclination, perhaps
even a compulsion to put the words "nature" and "wild" and phrases such as "the natural
world" and "wild animals" inside quasi-quotes. I know that I do.

Product Description
From Amazon
The Blind Assassin is a tale of two sisters, one of whom dies under ambiguous circumstances in the opening pages. The survivor, Iris Chase Griffen, initially seems a little cold-blooded about this death in the family. But as Margaret Atwood's most ambitious work unfolds--a tricky process, in fact, with several nested narratives and even an entire novel-within-a-novel--we're reminded of just how complicated the familial game of hide-and-seek can be:
What had she been thinking of as the car sailed off the bridge, then hung suspended in the afternoon sunlight, glinting like a dragonfly, for that one instant of held breath before the plummet? Of Alex, of Richard, of bad faith, of our father and his wreckage; of God, perhaps, and her fatal, triangular bargain.Meanwhile, Atwood immediately launches into an excerpt from Laura Chase's novel, The Blind Assassin, posthumously published in 1947. In this double-decker concoction, a wealthy woman dabbles in blue-collar passion, even as her lover regales her with a series of science-fictional parables. Complicated? You bet. But the author puts all this variegation to good use, taking expert measure of our capacity for self-delusion and complicity, not to mention desolation. Almost everybody in her sprawling narrative manages to--or prefers to--overlook what's in plain sight. And memory isn't much of a salve either, as Iris points out: "Nothing is more difficult than to understand the dead, I've found; but nothing is more dangerous than to ignore them." Yet Atwood never succumbs to postmodern cynicism, or modish contempt for her characters. On the contrary, she's capable of great tenderness, and as we immerse ourselves in Iris's spliced-in memoir, it's clear that this buttoned-up socialite has been anything but blind to the chaos surrounding her. --Darya Silver --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Atwood's Booker Prize–winning novel, with its 1930s setting and stories within stories, is well suited to audio dramatization. O'Brien has simplified and streamlined the structure so that it jumps around in time less and makes clearer parallels between past, present and the whimsical internal novel. Some dialogue has been added, while many meditative and descriptive sections are absent, but the new words blend gracefully with Atwood's own, and her elegant style remains intact despite the omissions. Abundant sound effects make the production much richer than many audiobooks; it sometimes seems like a movie without the visuals, with chirping birds, clinking silverware and the murmur of crowds filling in the background. Music that alternates between a lovely, slightly melancholy theme and an ominous one, helps highlight the shifts from the protagonist Iris's personal history to her retelling of the novel. The skills of the cast almost make such extras unnecessary: the three women who play Iris at different ages capture her brilliant but frustrated spirit perfectly, while the actresses for her troubled younger sister, Laura, find just the right blend of dreaminess and defiance. Though in some respects this adaptation is less intricate than the rather complicated original, the condensation serves it well, making the story more tightly wound and intense in a way that should attract listeners who may be put off by Atwood's writing.

Her upbringing in Port Ticonderoga, Ontario at the Avilion estate is portrayed in rich detail in a series of flashbacks, including her relationship with all members of her family and in particular, with her younger sister Laura. We are given a great deal of historic detail about this period, particularly about World War I and attempts at unionization of the button factory, and we are given details about several generations of Iris's family; in addition, both Iris and Laura's personalities are described in some detail and there are significant differences between them. 2)The second section is an elaborately detailed science fiction story which is woven between the chapters of the main narrative and is narrated by an unknown author to his unknown lover in a series of seedy apartment buildings, contrasting sharply with the opulence of Avilion. We do not understand the connection until the end. The science fiction story itself also contrasts for the most part significantly with the somewhat halcyon life at Avilion, since it includes a great deal of gratuitous violence and appears to be about some sci-fi tribe out of the Dark Ages. 3) The third section is a series of "newspaper articles" of familial or newsworthy interest which are interwoven between the other two stories. Through them, we learn more about World War I, about attempts at unionization of the button factory, about deaths in the family, and about social events significant to the family.Read more ›
Additionally, the language, which up to the book's climax, had been of sterling Atwood quality ("... can never stop howling") somehow becomes short and stilted. "We were lovers, you see, in secret..." When I got to that line, I had a very difficult time equating it with any other dialogue in the book. It was too blunt, too sharp and failed to blend well with the rest of the writing (I thought of several other ways in which the author could have played that scene... definitely in a much gentler manner more in keeping with her prose)
And finally, the narrator's obsession with death and "being a skull", etc. was just a bit too much after a while. Yes, we know she has health problems, we know she's elderly... but does the reader have to be beaten over the head with such blatant morbidity?
All in all, I felt a great deal of what was otherwise a wonderful story fell through the cracks and that much space was wasted on Alex's sci-fi tale (yes, I saw the correlations between the characters and the story; however, I felt that the Xenon story could easily have been cut by two-thirds and still have made a point).Read more ›

The couple who runs B&B Esty is very nice and helpful, we felt welcome and safe. The neighborhood is great, but the room is facing a big street so it's a bit noisy. The room was spacious, clean and well equipped: reading lamps, big mirror and wardrobe, little safe, hairdryer, air conditioning, even a small balcony. There was a shared bathroom across the hall - very clean as well. For breakfast we got croissants, toast, yoghurt, cereals and a decent cappuccino. Great value for a fair price!!

Excellent 4.0 /5 from 45 reviews
I booked a suite for 3 adults so that we could work on a project together, however our room was not as large or comfy as I expected a suite to be. The first thing I noticed, was that we had no couch or recliner for our sitting area, which was really an extra few feet at the end of our beds. When I asked about more seating at the front desk, the staff person said she knew one of the rooms needed a recliner, but didn't know which one! They did end up bringing us a recliner, but we still had very limited seating for the 3 of us and had to request another chair. Once we had 3 chairs, we tried to get on the WiFi, but it was slow and erratic, so working online was only possible by using a hotspot, making me use my personal data, when I should have been able to use their network. Although it was perfectly clean, I did not realize that they only offered housekeeping services once a week, so we were on our own for cleaning up, reusing towels, taking out trash for the 3 nights/4 days. I'm happy to reuse towels and often do, even at full service hotels, however, this room had only one hook in the bathroom, so we had to drape towels over chairs or hang them in the closet to dry. Finally, there was no mirror in the room as apparently it had also been broken and not replaced. I feel like a little more customer service could have salvaged this situation; I would have been mollified with an apology and a discount, but no luck.
My stay was not very good since the room I rented had a previous smoker. I did not notice this when I first arrived although I did inquire at check in if the room was a non smoking room. I was assured it was. I checked in and dropped things off at my room and left to eat. When I came back, I turned on the AC and the smell of stale smoke was obvious. The next day I reported it because I'm allergic to smoke and didn't want to get charged if the hotel thought I was the smoker. I reported it again when I checked out. What stood out to me is that the staff clearly didn't care enough to even apologize or offer to see if a non-smoking room was available. At $100+ per night, I would not stay at this hotel again.
Very friendly front desk
Dog in room 125 (I was in 129) barked and barked and barked... waking me at 7:45 sat sun mornings. On MONDAY morning dog woke me up at 4:30 a.m. Barking on and on and on. I would like a refund for 1 night. It was ridiculous !! Front desk did nothing !!!!!
The shower did not drain, the air conditioning unit had froze up so the carpet was soaked in front of the unit and bed, the keys were deactivated twice and the external door did not work with a key which they admitted was a recurring issue. The staff was not overly concerned with these comments and as a frequent traveler I was extremely disappointed with the stay. I will never stay at or recommend this hotel to anyone else
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Who's to blame for the 2010 GSA junket to Vegas?
**Written by Doug Powers
The General Services Administration's now infamous 2010 "team building" junket in Nevada has been widely talked about lately. Heads have rolled and the White House was reportedly furious, though it's unclear if that anger was over the amount of money spent, or that the meetings were held in Vegas in spite of a presidential advisory to avoid Sin City.
We're just now getting to the bottom of who's really to blame for the latest example of government waste. I don't want to ruin the suspense, so all I'll say is that the last name of the culprit rhymes with "push."
From Fox News:
The Obama administration is responding to the recent report that shows a federal agency spent more that $800,000 on a lavish conference near Las Vegas by putting some of the blame on the Bush administration.
"At least we have taken, bold, swift forceful action to hold those responsible accountable and put in place protections to make sure this never happened again," a White House official told Fox News.
The Inspector General Office's report last week about the 2010 General Services Administration conference outside of Las Vegas indicates the Obama administration knew about the trip since May 2010. The report was followed by a release of videos.
One video shows an employee performing in the fake music video, which is laced with jokes and references that only federal employees are likely to get.
In the lyrics, the employee sings: "Donate my vacation, love to the nation, I'll never be under OIG investigation."
The $840,000 conference is partly Bush's fault, they say, but at least it helped serve as evidence of the Obama administration's stewardship of taxpayer dollars:
The administration also argued Friday night that the cost of the Western Regional Conference increased sharply under the Bush White House — from $93,000 in 2004 to $323,855 in 2006 to $655,025 in 2008, then $840,616 in 2010, or just 28 percent under Obama.
So even if the bill for the 2012 conference is a cool million, the cost will have only increased 19 percent — or a 9 percent decrease from 2010. That's saving money, government style.
We'll close with words of wisdom from somebody who made an appearance at the 2010 GSA meeting in Vegas, the Angry Office Clown: "Government — if you think the problems we create are bad, just wait until you see our solutions."
If the mind reader taxpayers were billed $3,200 for could only read our minds now.

Senate passes FAA Reauthorization Act; labor classification differences between FedEx and UPS linger
Transportation in the NewsUPS reports solid Q2 earnings paced by international and B2C growth Despite mixed Q2 results, transportation & logistics deal making prospects look bright STB rolls out proposed reciprocal switching regulations International Air Transport Association Drives New Partnership With Global Forwarders Overnite Transportation Founder J. Harwood Cochrane passes away at 103 More Transportation News
Transportation ResourceLTL Re-engineers Customer Service for the "New Economy" In this special edition, the editors of Logistics Management focus on the elements forcing the current shift in the shipper/carrier dynamic and how one carrier in particular, Saia LTL Freight, has taken a 21st century approach to re-engineer its customer communications to build more open, collaborative relationships with the shipper community.
All Resources
WASHINGTON—The United States Senate recently passed the $34.5 billion Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Act that will secure FAA funding through September 30, 2011. This followed a vote by Congress to extend the House version of this bill for three months through June 30—the most recent in a series of extensions for this bill, which expired in 2007.
The FAA bill has received considerable attention in recent months due to a labor-related difference between FedEx and UPS over the House and Senate versions.
At the heart of this difference is that the House version calls for "express carrier employee protection" and has the potential to change the labor status for FedEx Express from Railway Labor Act (RLA) to the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) that applies to UPS employees. Should this bill be signed into law, many industry experts contend that it will make it less challenging for the Teamsters Union to organize FedEx Express workers.
In the House version, an amendment would enable the RLA to clarify that employees of an "express carrier" can only be covered by the RLA if they are employed in a position that is eligible for certification under FAA's rules such as mechanics or pilots, and that they are actually performing that type of work for the express carrier. It added that all other express carriers would be governed by the NLRA.
In the Senate vote, the House provision was not included, a move that FedEx viewed as a positive.
"We are encouraged that the United States Senate passed an FAA Reauthorization bill that is focused on modernizing our air travel system and enhancing important safety provisions that we support, including an increase in co-pilot training requirements," said Maury Lane, FedEx director of media relations, in a statement. "To their credit, the Senate has rejected efforts to include an ill-conceived 230-word bailout provision inserted by UPS lobbyists into the House bill that would change how FedEx Express has been regulated since its founding 38-years ago."
Lane added that this is an important bill that should advance without extraneous labor provisions, "and we continue to believe that UPS should abandon its bailout quest that puts the interests of UPS ahead of the public."
In literature for its campaign—dubbed BrownBailout.com—FedEx says that this amendment amounts to a "bailout to UPS," adding that it would force FedEx to operate under a law not designed for airlines and express companies. FedEx has previously defended this position by explaining that UPS and FedEx are "fundamentally different companies," with UPS shipping 85 percent of its parcels on the ground and FedEx primarily functioning as an airline, flying 85 percent of its packages in the air.
UPS spokesman Malcolm Berkley said that the only "bailout" occurring is not one for UPS but one that FedEx has been enjoying for the last several decades, as its drivers are the only ones in the country covered by the RLA.
"The term bailout is not accurate," said Berkley. "The issue at hand is the treatment of drivers under the law—the application of law as it applies to drivers. And right now there is only one company with its drivers covered under the law differently than all other drivers in the U.S. and that's FedEx. If you want to talk about special treatment and about being bailed out, that is where that is."
"The change in the legislation really does nothing for UPS, although UPS contends that they have to operate under different laws than FedEx, which is unfair," said Jerry Hempstead, principal of Hempstead Consulting.
"This is really a battle with organized labor that FedEx has been fighting since deregulation in 1979," added Hempstead. "However, FedEx can't say that they are battling organized labor. That will not sell to the current administration or the population at large; but if they paint it as a battle with the big bad corporate giant UPS then they can get an ear and some sympathy."

question on Stumax 110-47 fan unit
Hi all, I will be using a Stumax 110-47 for the first time, and I want to seek some advice on how best to install this fan.
As you see from the photo below, the intake ring of my plane (JTM L39) is larger than the fan unit itself. Can I push the fan forward a bit so that it sits inside the intake ring, without sealing off the gap between the ring and the fan? I assume the way to maximize the fan's power/thrust is by sealing off the gap entirely. But, since this fan has a 9+kg thrust and the plane will have an AUW weight of only 6-6.5kg, I'm ok with some loss of power/thrust as long as it's not too significant.
Would love any thoughts/advice from those who have used and installed this fan. Thanks!
The right way to do it would be to make a short adapter, that on the fan end has the same inside diameter as the fan shroud, for best performance you do not want any ridges or sharp edges inside the duct, and keep it sealed as well. The upside to spending a little bit of extra time on this is you get the most out of your fan, I know you have more performance available than needed, but you can throttle back and get longer flights this way.
Do a hack job of the fan install and you will have to be on the throttle more due to loss of fan performance. Your choice really.
Kind of strange this JTM plane did not include a intake adapter to fit a Stumax 110mm fan, my xXx had one that was a perfect fit. Are you sure it's not just something they forgot to include in the box?

Thanks Arngeir - yup that's what I figured. I just asked JTM and confirmed that they didn't include a ring for 110mm - only for 120mm.
Another reason I'm thinking about leaving the gap unsealed is, given how powerful this fan is, I'm concerned the air sucking would collapse the ducts at full power. This was an issue with the BVM EVF fan that I have on my JTM Viper, and I ended up having to cut a few cheater holes on the intake ducts to lessen the suction effect that was collapsing the ducts.
Make a proper adapter, will be worth it in the long run. My large Viperjet only came with an adapter for a120mm fan. I split it and cut a chunk out, then filled the edge. The smoother the better. You'll enjoy the 110-47, it's an awesome fan
Easiest is as Chris suggests and try to cut and get the 120mm adapter to fit, or if you want to run it open you will need a bellmouth on the fan. But I'm not sure anyone makes one for the SM-110. Maybe the one Schubeler makes for the HDT-75 fits? That's also a 110mm fan.
I'm waiting on a 110-47 myself for my xXx, I thought about installing a 110-52 I have but decided I wanted a bit more power, and also be able to keep on using the 14S batteries I already have for the plane ( I have 2 x 14S 6000). Will be using a 780kV motor and I hope it will give me around 6kW.
Kevin another option might be to make an inlet ring to fit the fan. Then place the fan so the inlet ring about two inches behind the termination of the ducting. But I personally would make the adapter and then reinforce the ducting if needed.

Installing it just the way it's sitting in the picture won't be that good primarily because I don't see that there is a thrust tube installed. One very important component that I've not seen anyone mention is the installation of a thrust tube. Are you planning on installing one on this project? Performance greatly depends on the thrust tube. Others can chime in on this as well. From my understanding, a good thrust tube is one that is 80% the size at the tail end compared to the size where it connects to the EDF unit. A while back, I saw a youtube video of a Habu 32 losing it's thrust tube in mid flight, which it lost nearly all it's thrust when this happened.

Yes it'll have a thrust tube The fan is just placed temporarily inside the fuselage for the sake of illustration.
Interestingly, though, I spoke with JTM today and they say the best way to install this fan, even without a bellmouth, is to place it about 2 cm (1 inch) behind the duct ring - in other words, a 2-cm gap between the fan and the duct ring. That's how they test piloted this L39's prototype, using a fan without a bellmouth that only had a static thrust of around 5.5kg.
I may do as JTM suggested and see what the performance is like before deciding what, if any, alterations should be done. After all, this Stumax fan pumps out 9.1kg of thrust at about 140a. Even if performance is limited to, say, 7 kg thrust at 100a, that is still way more than enough performance for this light, sleek plane.
Here's a more specific data point. My JTM XXX has the Ramtec 127MM fan installed pretty much exactly the way JTM suggested - see photo, which illustrates a small gap between the fan and the intake duct ring. With this setup, this fan performs as expected, churning out about 8 kg of thrust at around 118A. See the video below for the XXX's 100th flight, during which it was clocked at 272 kmh/169mph during the second low pass. It is hard to imagine that this isn't maximizing that fan's performance.
So, I guess, the only way to find out for sure is to do some experiments on the L39.

But FYI the video didn't come from China - I'm an American living in Taiwan, and the video was shot in Taipei. Feel free to search through my YouTube channel ("mrkchen95") for a whole bunch of other flying videos, including other videos of this exact XXX plane. Think it would be hard for me to fake all those other videos too

Pleae take the time to do your research and then decide if Kevin is legit or not.
If you don't have the time to do that then you could at least refrain from hinting that he is a fraud just because he happens to live in Taiwan. Couldn't someone mistake this type of b ehaviour as insulting?

Kevin, the best solution would be to cut the original inlet back to the intersection between left and right, then roll up an adapter to connect that with the fan. Otherwise, move the fan aft so you have enough space for an adapter which isn't too conical.
An easy way to make an adapter is to roll it from Mylar or even thin card which is glossy on one side (glossy side in!) and tape it in spots. Then lay a couple of layers of 200gm (6oz) glass over it. Leave the Mylar or card inside, no need to remove it.
Do take the time to get it right, the fan performance will suffer tremendously without any inlet, the air just can't turn around the sharp edge of the shroud without getting all messed up. You'll find that current draw will drop by about 20% and thrust will drop by about 30-40% without an inlet on the fan. Don't follow JTM's suggestion, that won't work very well, you need to guide the air into the fan otherwise the outer section of the rotor won't be doing anything for you except making nice jet sounds.
