P-80 Wont barely fit in the hatch. I had a P-70 fitted in mine. Fit was good and a lil bit less weight. More than enough thrust. I saw one fitted with a artes super bee at the az jet rally. Thing flew like it was on rails, quickly too! IMO, You could definetly go with one of the 14 pound mini's.

Hi Chris,

I have seen a P-80 powered BVM F-16, I would not recommend it, too heavy and not enough room for fule.

I put a P-80 in my F-16 and it worked just fine.

I've thought about this one for a long while, and after consulting with a jet jockey the P-70 is the best choice, with the latest version I think pushing 17 lbs. No way I would use a P-80 in it, too much power and too much fuel required.

Wren 54 is my second option.

Nothing ruins a great flying jet like the Y/A F-16 than high wing loading. There are many nice 12-14lb. class turbines out there, e.g. Artes JF-50 Bee, JetCat P-60, Robart's Funsonic, Simjet 1200, PST 600R, FTE-500, etc. Also, turbine weight is only one of the factors to consider. Another factor is fuel consumption. The more efficient turbines will require less onboard fuel, thus less weight. Personally, I like the Aftes JF-50 Bee and the JetCat P-60 for your application. Good Luck!

Here is a shot of my YA 16. It is powered by an Artes Bee. Very Fast and good fuel economy!!

Listen to theses guys, the Artes bee is the way to go, The same thing goes for the Y/A F-18.

Hi Chris,
Here are some pic's of my Y/A F-16 with a Simjet 1200. Been a great flying combo. Try to keep it as light as possible.

see all that wood in there to mount your equipment with the bee? With a p-80 forget about it. Start looking for nooks and crannies to mount it in.
