I flew the Byron fan in the late 80's with a Rossi .90 DF engine. The static thrust at that time was 12 to 13 lbs. With the Byron fan converted to electric, you can get almost 14 to 16 lbs of thrust. With that much gain, I think you could get rid of the cheater holes and use a inlet liner.
Would be interesting to see how much performance was gained.
