Hey guys not sure were to ask this question but I'm having 2nd thoughts on my original plan. I'm restoring a Byron F16 I just got done fiberglassing the wings ,etc moved the servos into the wing and rudder

I was going to use the byron fan with a Jet Screamer motor on 12s with a Castle 160amp ESC
well my motor showed up this weekend and the motor (not the fan etc) weighs almost 3 pounds!
and I was told I will pull around 130amps at 17pounds thrust.

But I also have an old AMT 180 pumped to 17.5 pounds sitting around,

So I know turbines have a lot of eflux but electrics are supposed to be lighter but in this case I think this heavy edf will be close to the weight of the AMT

so anyone ever convert there large EDF to turbin or the other way around?

what are your thoughts?

thanks
