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.
