Default RE: EVF (Electric VioFan) Thrust?

Any manufacturer that steps up to the plate an offers EDF versions of their jets will win. EDF opens up a whole new market for someone who wants to get into high performance jets without the hassle of a turbine waiver and AMA always watching over your back. Plus many clubs are welcoming electrics because of the lower noise they produce. There are a lot of possibilities that make EDF a viable option for many R/C flyers today.

So don't discount that Yellow and other manufacturers won't get on the band wagon. It could be profitable for them. Plus they would probably end up saving in product cost because they would not have to use extra material to make it beefy for turbine use.
