JetLegend/BVM F16 question..
Poor quote but... "To bypass or not to bypass.. THAT is the question" ?
Any opinions welcome, power is a Wren 160K Pro

Scott,
No experience with that particular model but having a couple with and a couple without I would say that I'm more comfortable with the bypass. My Global/JL L39 with no bypass is reluctant to open its doors until you throttle back leading me to believe that the pressure inside the fuselage is lower than outside with the motor sucking.
For this reason alone I would go with the bypass. Also with a kero start engine if you do get a failed start you stand a chance of containing the kero inside the bypass/thrust tube and can tip it out the back.

I think really the only one that will fit in the supplied bypass is a cheetah sized motor. The larger can (k140,p140) motors will not fit. That being said, I've been running a p140 in mine for the past year without bypass with no issues

Hi guys, I like the looks of this jet but there's not much feed back on how this later version F16 flys? would a P140 be enough power, and would it handle grass field operation ok?
