    This is the Combat Models F-16n that I am trying to finish.
    I want to convert it to EDF.If possible.This is going to be a long build.It is a big jet. Attached files [​IMG]

    I was told at our field that it would take a 90mm EDF.But he did not think the intake would be big enough for it to work.It takes a .40 to .46 nitro motor.I may substitute the nitro with an electric outrunner.This plane is set up as a pusher.
    I just got an email from a man named Will and he thinks he still has a canopy for it and maybe
    the retsacts.I still have the old ones but they leak air bad.

    Maybe with some cheater holes you could make it work? It's a very cool project

    Yes it is Yoram.But it has a cloth covering on it.The other picture shows the compartment for the landing gear.It also shows you the plane is foam.

    Yeah, now I see it's foam. Judging by the last pic it looks like it will need lots of TLC to restore it, right? :)

    It is going to need a lot of it.
