This will create two sides I'm sure!

I have a new G2 version JL F16 and have choice of turbines!
So here's the question:

What would you use,

1, Merlin 140
2, Jet Cat P180RX
3, Behotec 180 (new version)

?

Please be gentle with your answers! LOL

Merlin 140 for sure. Its a light plane.

I also saw the front anti rotation shaft in one that had a bigger motor rip out of the wing and crash. Bigger motor = more fuel and more weight and then the airframe can fail.

We are flying one with a K140 and its perfect. Got a friend flying with a K140 and full ordnance and it also flies great. My choice would be a K140 lol but out of the engines you listed Merlin 140 would be the best choice.

Why are you worrying about the turbine? You won't start building for at least another couple of years!!!

Good point well made, Lord Bascombe of Horsham. A Jetcat would be my choice.

Well, if you're in the market for a 180 size turbine, I think considering a Kingtech 180 should be thrown in the ring.

Probably will start with M140, but would like to try the new Behotec 180!
ravill, I have not had a King Tech yet but I have seen plenty being used with good results!
Just fancy trying something different. ;D
