Default Converted Y/A F-16A to from DF to pusher

I normally post to the "jets" page but I thought some people in this forum may be interested in my latest project. I've taken a new, unbuilt Yellow Aircraft F-16A (the old kit), installed the new scale landing gear, and plan on using a pusher engine instead of a ducted fan. My set-up will be similar to the Combat Models F-16N, as I also plan on using a YS .45RE (if I can find an unused one). I think this engine set-up will be the best choice because of its integral fuel pump. Weight will be a little more than usual as the gear is heavier than standard Robarts or Springairs.

Any thoughts, recommendations, ideas? You prop-speed demons should know a few tricks to help me out.
