I think that is a definate candidate. I also think the older / lighter polyester kit is the better candidate from a weight standpoint. If the market develops and Yellow can do versions of all there jets with the pre-primed epoxy fuselages but with a little lighter layup and WITHOUT the carbon everywhere including the wing reinforcements plus possibly some thinner ply wood they'd be winners.

Chris,

What do you think about the DS94-3ph in a Yellow F-16? Using a 10s or 12s pack.
Chris, I think you are asking a lot of Y/A. They just updated many of their kits for "turbine use", and now they need to re-update for EDF? I don't think we will see it unless EDF starts to approach turbine numbers and they feel they could benefit. I guess it is possible to offer both versions, but probably not for Yellow IMHO. They will need to decide which market they will serve. Maybe they could offer larger turbine models and reserve the "smaller" airframes for EDF.

Other manufactures may have to make the same decisions.

A bit off topic I know, but thanks for listening.
