Default RE: Cermark F-16 pics.

Big Daddy,

Didn't get any pictures of it yet. Yes, the throttle servo is in the back. Make sure you use the carbon fiber nyrod to make the throttle rod. This way you don't have to worry about it stretching in the heat. I am using a 4000Mah Duralite with a 6V regulator. The battery is on the back edge of the tail. I didn't have to add any lead to balance, it was right on a little nose heavy. Make sure the gear are down and tank is empty. I balanced at 15" out from the root. I had to play with my nose wheel today, don't forget to make a solid flat spot and change the set screws to allen head screws. They need to be very tight, I also needed to shim the brass axle assembly to give me a little more ground clearance. Played with props today, 11x10 APC gave me 11,400. 11x7 gave me 14,300. I am going to try a 12x6 next time to the field. Overcast and drizzly here today, very low flying cieling so I decided not to maiden. Maybe next week.

How much elevator thow is needed, I don't want her to snap!
