Default Old F16 Help

I have an old F16 that I dont know much about. The guy I got it off of had it in his basement for about 12 years & he said he didn't know much about it. It has air retracts, it is foam with a super thin layer of fiberglass looking material on the outside of the plane, & it looks like it is suppose to be a glow pusher. The plane is 64" long with a 44" wing span. The Air duct on the front of the aircraft goes all the way thru and out the back. This thing could probably be set up for an EDF , there is not enough room or access door for a glow powered DF. Any info that anyone could give me on this plane would be great.

Hi grass cutter, I could be wrong but it sure looks like what you have there is a Byrons original F-16
there are a couple threads on it here you could look into as well as others out there on the net

I have a Byrons Christan Eagle I'm building now, everything I have seen so far says the Byron originals were great planes

Good luck with it

It's not a Byron - They were fiberglass and a lot bigger.

It's a Combat Models F-16. The tailcone is removable and a .60 glow engine gets mounted there. An EDF is not really an option as the ducting is not satisfactory. Best fot it is an electric pusher.

I'm not familar with that particular Combat Models F-16; can you explain as to the ducting issue. Didn't they make an A-10 also? Would that be suitable for EDF?
