When you fly a yak you are on the edge so what do you need extra?

They are all good engines. I went with the Jet Central Rabbit (19lb thrust and the size of the P-70) for my 1/8th Jet Legend F-16. It is smaller (size) than the P-80 and has a lifetime warranty.

I hope thats not your first jet... a bit of a squirrel... Narrow gear, and ground handling can be difficult... You flying turbines yet ?? They are different animals... I am biased to Jet Cat although you'll pay more money...

For a noob, a Jetcat p-60se is the best combo for the f-16 because it has less turbine lag than the p-70. With that said, I would not recommend the f-16 for your first turbine plane. The tamjet f-16 was my first turbine and I beat the crap out of it while learning. Good first jets include the BVM Bobcat and Boomerang Elan.
