hi Billy, you rock man! be sure and document the whole rebuild! I flew a bunch of byron stuff in the mid 1980s.
the Byron F-16 and Mig 15 were the best flying ducted fan jets period! back then was (1 flight) = (1 glow plug) and the OS 77 was the most reliable engine. keep up the good work!
An EDF with 20lbs of static thrust? I have to see this. Was thinking of getting a Byron airframe together over the winter, Tell us more about this power plant.
Looks like it is going to be an awesome project! If i remember correctly, didnt nightflyyer have one that he used to help in the making of some movie, many years ago?
where can i get one like that,I want a 100mm edf or larger,fiberglass not cheap foam.thanks and wow that jet will be awsome.

Awesome project.
