Status: offline 		This plane can go very very fast you can see it here http://www.rcuvideos.com/item/B70B4CT4BJVVP6JL using DS-51 90mm combined with NeuMotor 1515/1.5Y, the videos links on Tam website may not show the speed of the plane when it pass low.

Also if you want a charger for the lipo batteries for up to 10s you can use http://shop.eflypower.com/shop/views.asp?hw_id=1242 it has very nice features Also it is cheap

Status: offline 		I received the F-16, and when I opened the package I was surprised by the quality and finish it is my first Tam jet and I'm extremely happy with it not only the kit is outstanding, even the hardware that comes with it are outstanding.

recently I received the Tam mini retracts and WOW it is made from high quality materials.

I Hope I will start building very soon but i'm very busy with work these days

I've seen every thing and really it is very easy and fast to build, most of the hard work was done by tam. it only needs to assemble retracts , put inside the servo and engine no hassle there.

But I wonder about 2 things:

1- what are the sizes of the gears doors? length, width and distance from each others. Because the CD manual only show the distance from the inlet to nose gear.

2- what is the best power and what it does need to operate the receiver and servos ? because I'm only experienced with ESC that has BEC but the CC ESC include has no BEC.

As far as the gear doors, I used cut outs for the gear instead of the doors. E mail Tam and he can give you the exact sizes.
tamjets@yahoo.com

Have fun with the build.

As soon as i get the info from Tam I will start cutting the gear door and go to the shop tobend the gear rods.

Status: offline 		I have thunderbirds, love it! easily the fastest best flying plane I own. And yeah you cant appreciate the speed in the vid till you see it in person. Jumps off the ground, goes way too fast! and you can throttle back and fly for a nice long flight if you want, who could ask for more!
