Hi,

I don't think the benefit of using the F-16 system would justify the cost difference or the trouble of installing it. Also, you can build this plane completely stock and get it under 12 pounds for ICDF.

This one flies great, and is just a hair under 15 pounds...

All I would need is the sockets that go on the bulkheads. The wood for the conversion and the carbon rods would cost less than $20.

Hi,

Perhaps, but I still think it's a less-than-ideal application for those spars. I think the stock blade system would be better.
