                        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.

                                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?
