Alas, no smaller engine for the Skyhawk. I'm not too worried, though. I've flown some very heavy ones on fan power, and the P-80 is a very light engine for its size. My only issue was fuel, but I have enough for some short sorties. I modified an F-16 centerline tank to hold 46 ounces, then I've got another 20 ounces on board. At 11 pounds of thrust, that ought to be enough for a 5 minute flight with a go around built in.
