Default bvm super balsa bandit

i need expert help with a couple of questions. first can the balsa bandit be built without a speedbrake, keep in mind ill be using a small engine like the jf-50 or pst 600 or 600r my goal is to build a super light weight jet. li-po batteries,plastic fuel tanks, jr new 7 channel micro pcm receiver,electric brake and gear valves. also want to know if you can sort of do a half gear door just on the struts, and a wheel well? ill be using bvm landing gear, wheels, and brakes. im trying to take the complexity, time , and weight of hinging and cutting all those surfaces out and rigging door cylinders. with all that said, if this is possible to do and yeilds a feather weight bandit will it be loaded light enough for a first turbine aircraft. what would be a quesstimate approach/landing speed of this setup. what is the top speed with 12lb. class engine? any info on this setup would be greatly appreciated, thanks
