            • Scale Master, great conversion! There are a few FW F16's now flying on a micro turbine, and the X45 is the most perfect choice. The latest issue of RC Jet International has a very detailed conversion of this jet to K30 power and it flys great. This video shows just one of them out there.
              This is the Freewing 90mm EDF F16 using a Kolibri T35 Turbine with a 24oz tank. Take-off weight is similar to the 6S 5000 electric setup however on landing i...

                  Scale Master, I found a video of the F16 conversion that was in RC Jet. I had the HSD F16 with a ACE60 turbine and while it flew OK, it was heavy and a bit under-powered, so I think that your conversion will be the best way to go, for a foam F16.

                  Even a thrust vector version!

                    Yeah I would agree, as the FW F-16 is about 10lbs when you have the jet set up on a 8S 5000mAh packs so this bird will be a little bit better than 1:1!

                    • Anyone thought of putting a down mix on low throttle activation via flap switch

                      • Can you explain what you mean? Down what? Flip the flaps and it reduces throttle?? Down elevator with flaps? But why throttle too?

                          I haven't needed to use down elevator with full throttle. Is there something in your exhaust? That can tend to do this...

                          • Has anybody tried the latest version of grass? I am worried it does not have enough power for take-off on grass?
