Default Tamjets f-16 powered by a Wren 54 Mk 4???

I will be picking up a second hand Tams composite f-16. I have a Wren 54 mk4 putting out around 15 lbs of thrust. Will this engine be enough to fly the 16 decently?? Mind you, I will be flying in Denver as well where I guess I should expect a slight decrease in thrust. Any info. appreciated Thanks Jon

I have seen them fly with P60, which put out only 12-13 lbs of thrust. Max speed of 150 mph on straight and level flight upwind.

My P-70 wasn't putting out much more than that and it flew great.

It will fly great on only 15 pounds.

Past tense for the Wren...it is now in the boomerang. A P-70 in now in the F-16 which makes it even more fun!!!! Sorry for the confusion.....
