Default Glow Ducted Fan Jet

Hello, what are your opinnions about a DF Glow Jet after my bobcat... personally i love byron f-16.. but im a little worried about the lack of power of an OS .91 on it... plus the difficulty on gettting one of this... since the the byron situation...

What du u recommend? thx...

There may still be a couple byron f16 on RCU classifies.
Nothing wrong with Glow ducted fan as I still run them.(love to have turbine or EDF as short on the wallet right now)
Glow ducted fan isnt as reliable as the other two mentioned but if you have the extra channel make sure you run a in flight mixture.
and dont try to get that extra RPM as it will run lean once in the air.
Os 91 should be enough power to fly a byron F16.

I had a Byron F-16.. the os .91 has more then enough power for it. I am using a os 91 in a 18lb byron bd-5.

There have been several succesful conversions to electric for the Byrofan. I have one in a TGA mig-29. It is very reliable power but will cost you about $1k to get it done.
