Default Scale Jets 1/5 F-16

I was looking at this kit and was just wondering if anyone had a dry weight for it. The website says 41lbs is this correct weight, I'm guessing it's built for a P200.
Is that dry weight with all the wing stores?

The AD F-16 typically uses a P-120 and is pretty fast with one installed.

The ADJets F-16 is 1/6,8. Designed to be very light and flies very nicely on a P-120.

The only 1/5 scale F-16 around is the ScaleJets one:

Beautiful kit that scored quite well at the JWM.
Count 15k USD for a complete kit with all the options.

Yes, with some extra power. You might want to go for a B300F in that case. Same weight as the P-200, 50% more power.

Thanks for the info Oli, you know im training 6 guys from your country to fly AH-64Ds Four are about to graduate and two just started the course

Hey thanks for the turbine heads up, I never even thought about those guys. I was looking around for a 26lb class and they have a 27lb so this brand may fix two future projects.
That B300 is almost the same size as the P200, fuel burn is 6 more oz per minute and maybe a few mm larger in diameter. The weight is as you said the same. Thanks

I saw the Scale Jets F16 flying on 38-40 lb thrust in a very scale manner.. I think it would fly on a 160 clean, but not with stores too well. They were using 180's as well. they were fighting the 20KG limit at JWM so the motors were light..

At the moment Marijn (the owner of ScaleJets NL) is flying his F16 with an AMT Pegasus with about 38 lb of thrust,

Is that slick? I'm just looking to fly one will full scale options, I may just have to stick to 1/6 scale because of weight. Good info thanks
