I hope Santa would be kind to me this year. I have been a very good boy . Anton, would you have all the lights as options on this model as well? Navigation, Landing, Strobes and anti collision lights?

Yes I want to see High Speed as well. On the 1/6th scale you guys have had rudder problems at high speeds. I need to know that this wont be a problem on the 1/5th

Thank you for the suggested.

yes, we will test fly more time with the high speed before we deliver this F16 to customers,

we now test flight many time with the scale LG because no inlet now when the high speed pass the nose gear door opened in the air., and the Likai has checked the GPS high speed now is 180mph, the Likai will test the high speed pass by full power of K210 after install the inlet and ventral fins on next week,

Is it me or does the gear look to tall for the 1/5 scale F-16. It may be an optical illusion because the ventral fins are not installed and the area behind the gear is clear making the gear to appear tall. Any thoughts out there???

Its just an illusion without the ventral fins on there. Looks fine to me.

Hi Anton! I just want to say thanks for taking the time to produce a good quality Big F-16! I have the flyeagle 1/5.5 F-16 and it has had it's share of problems in order to make it a reliable model! Not to mention that I can't fly it at any events in the U.S, due to the their products being banned from events. So, I am looking forward to buying your F-16! Can you give me a heads up date of when this plane will be available to place order? Thanks again for taking the time to listen to our concerns!

Hi, we just finished the high speed test flight of this F-16 1/5 3times today , the Likai installed the inlet with by-pass and the ventral fins, the maximum speed is 306km/h with the K210 full thrust,

Anton, really looking forward to buying your F16! Thanks for the time you spent with RND! Is this plane available now? I will be calling Chief Aircraft in the morning to get some ordering details! Also, what is the size of the new F18 that is in development? I am looking forward to owning that one too. GO SkYMASTER! I'm looking forward to having a great 2015 with the addition of these planes to my squadron!

Anton, was the F-16 flight with a gyro installed. The aircraft seams to be oscillating in the last flight video. I do not know if this is due to a high Gyro setting or some other issue. Any thoughts out there.

This will be my third F-18 (other two were Superhornets) from SM. Seeing the page for the F-18C large version literally gave me chills. I am truly hoping for an ultra scale RC replica of my favorite plane of all time. Keep up the great work!

Hello Anton,

Very, very impressive indeed. However the full size landing gear in the pictures you show is the F/A-18 's while the prototype you show are the F-18F/E type.

Here you can see my set for my F/A-18 C/D 1/7th scale ones
