What is your bill of material (BoM) AUW?
Believe a set of Edgley Optica plans~multiple views are available for a basis of design...which I believe to be a ducted prop, not
a ducted fan blade. Using a ducted prop will simplify construction as it affords less cost and more internal room than helix blades.
There is a diameter to duct length ratio providing greater thrust...copying the multple view spec should accomplish what's desired.
