Hi Torr:
Another smooth landing! How long have you been flying if you don't mind me asking. Of all the videos I've seen, your landings are by far the best. I intend using the Rhino to power my baby.
You know what they say - bigger is better! And in this case it's true, it's a great plane in every sense of the word! You're welcome to ask if you have any questions! Congratulations! Tor

Not very sure when my f-16 will arrive here in the States. It will first be going to the builder who will put it together with speed breaks, lights, functioning canopy and a drogue shoot. I intend to have it look sweet.

Aileron servo mounting. Any tips on that? I see that I am going to have to cut out the wing and make my own mounts? The instructions do not specify exactly where to put them. I think I have an idea of where they would go but I would like to see what others have done and their experience. Any pictures would help.
I was really surprised to see an ARF not have this pre-made or at lest pre-cut.

Hi, Andy
Please see this picture..
Best regards

Anton,
Why are some people here saying that theirs are pre-cut and mine isn't? This seems odd to me.

If I had an SM Falcon....................I would mount the engine on the rear, set the pump voltage to the minimum setting that will cause the engine to spit flames at full throttle = 100% real afterburner effect.
Has anyone tried this?

No,.....at least I don't think so......sounds like that might cause a fire, and I don't believe it's legal in the states.......someone might end up getting burned. I think there was a thread on the subject here: LED Afterburner Lights

Flames actually cause more drag than thrust. You don't want flames. I think you have been watching to many "LOST IN SPACE" eposodes lol. They don't even look like real afterburners. Now my smoke system flames up every now and then near idle. I accidentally caught my boomerang XLII tail on fire last weekend from this. I ended up putting aluminum muffler tape along the whole bottom side of the tail to prevent future charring.
Never tweek or mess around with the manufacturer's recommended settings on the pump like that. You could cause a serious fire onboard when starting it.
