Default RE: Byron F16 Conversion to Turbine

I have a Byron F16 kit also and have been considering doing a turbine conversion for some time and the MW54 would be an ideal match for it I reckon.... I would use the Yellow F16 inlet duct along with a Tam tailpipe made to spec. Various strengthening mods that I would be doing are covering wings stabs and fin with 3/4 oz glass cloth and epoxy resin along with carbon rod support for vertical fin.... that said I have been seriously looking into the EDF option viability for the Byron F16 and it certainly looks like it maybe another option if the model can be built light enough ie taileron control instead of ailerons and spring air gear, somthing different anyway eh!
