Default RE: Electric Byron F-16 Build

Dave, thanks for the pressure about the paint job, will be picking up the rest of the paint today,so I may have the basic paint work done today.

CastorTroy2150, I would get the F-16 as Dave said thay are more like a trainer than a jet even though they do move along if you need it. The conversion is easy if you use the same stuff as Dave has used as mine is a different conversion to the nor Byron conversion. All that is replaced is the glow engine and fuel and exhaust system, you even use the orignal Byron fan and shroud.

The reason I went electric is that the 90 sized fan engines are hard to find and expensive, keeping the engines tuned for max power is also something to keep in mind, with electric they are tuned every time you plug in the fully charged batteries.

Cheers
