My goal was to be better than 1:1 on take off. I cut my teeth in jets with big EDF where you strive for 1:1 if possible, I know it's not necessary with turbine because of the efflux but I want to be able to do low speed high power maneuvers and the thrust is the key. I am estimating to be about 43-44lbs AUW so that would give me what I'm after. I just ordered the Xicoy digital CG machine and it will give me an accurate weight as opposed to the digital fish scale and ropes I'm using......
i I would go no less than a 180, you want that low end power if you ever get in trouble, you can always throttle back

I did add a few reinforcements for running the 210 and had Tam make a pipe with a bigger diameter, it barely fits but is shorter so once you get it in the jet it fits perfect!
I have an igyro 3e on its way and plan on putting it in the F-18, I'm going to try it in my Habu32 and then maybe my Flash before it finds its way in the rhino.
