Your the 2nd person I know know who did edf and was not overly happy. It seems like most who like the conversions are those who have never been bitten by the turbine bug
Ill be straight with you guys, the only reason I was thinking of doing this f16 in electric is because I'm in the Army and I know I only got 2 more years left in OH before I get moved who knows were. I have only been flying for 3 years and (my wife keeps me at a 10plane count) but a my planes are now Giant scale Topflight and turbines
my fear after reading on this site about all the places that don't allow turbines is I'll move and not be able to fly any of my jets.
I think ill be better off trying to get a used P120 or another 22 pound turbine to put in my Razor to replaces its AMT180 that's around 18 pounds
I know the amt 180 ant light but the byron to me won't go killer fast anyways
