Well, here is my newest project that's coming along great. I am using Tam's $500 F-16 kit that he designed for EDF. The EDF kit is 8 1/2 pounds and this one is a hair less with the UAT full. I will test fly this week once Tam finishes the brakes. Being that all P60's are upgradable, I couldn't resist upgrading mine since it fits so perfectly in this jet. Here are some pics so far. I will add more pics once completed with brakes.

Just a note...the EDF version does not have a rudder. This one was made by Tam from the original fin.

What was the turnaround time for your SE upgrade at Jetcat?

Goodness Rev, this is interesting. I would have thought Tam would strike down this project since there are too few electrons involved!!

I recently dismounted my fuel-filter from being hard mounted since vibration causes air bubbles sometimes. Be careful with yours. We gotta go flying sometime dude!!!

Brakes almost done. I used a 1 3/4 inch wheel and cut away to fit the brakes. Should have the other half of the brakes done tonight. Total weight on each brake side came out to less than a half ounce each!

Hey...it beats having to machine two pieces for right now. I'll take the easy road any day! Don't worry, the one Tam will machine for customers will look great and will work in just about any small electric or foam airplane. Don't you have a P-60? I think you need one of these.
