There appears to be a new rudder mechanism - haven't really opened the bag of hardware yet, but will tell you when I know!
No problem with the post - just looking forward to flying this beauty!!

Hey Tor

Just wondering if u had to order the extra details like painted landing gear, detailed gun and vents etc or did it come like that.

Cheers Tor

Hi Levi - it came like that - I did ask for the white U/C, but one of my jet friends received his at the same time, and I believe they
deliver them all with white U/C now!

I am also going to order this F16 but in the artic scheme.  Can Skymaster deliver this without decals?  I Would like to use tailormadedecals so they are more accurate.  I am told that the skymaster ones are not all that great.  I plan to use a 200sx as the indian weather is rather warm.  However, I am wondering if the residual thrust will become an issue??

Skymaster can deliver the plane without markings. Residual thrust is not an issue with a 200sx, my last one was powered that way. My current F-16 is powered by a 180rx, which provides great performance even under the hot California sun.

I will prefer to keep it light and will prefer the 180rx as well. Just don't want an underpowered plane. I fly from an elevation of 300m with temps in the range of 35-45 Celsius.

Aside from surface detail and the rudder upgrade, What are the major differences on the G2 verse the previous version?

Thanks

Ragz,

My dad flies his with a 180 (kt) at 400m, 30 to 35 celsius, high humidity. He loves the performance on the 180.
Being at high altitude like you, I prefer to save on weight.
