Flight went very well, Elevator throws in the manual are a bite high, I will provide some detailed control surface throws after the next flight. I have mine setup for Taileron, with flapperon mixed in during the normal high speed mode.

I have mine balanced at 265 mm for the moment, Ill get a few more flights and see where I want to move it from there. Its a good feel at that CG location.

Last weekend this F-16 1/5 with K210G hit the tree, inhale a lot of leaves cause flameout, but the plane landed safely., Likai very luck to saved this F16 1/5 ., now this F-16 1/5 first product was over 150 flight time within 10 months,

Anton,

Out of curiosity why are the planes that in stock at chief without lights? They have every option EXCEPT the lights, are they ordering this way or was the light kit just added. Chief said this is the way that they come, even the ones that are currently in route via container.

Hi DW,

The light kits are an optional item and is not "off the shelve" available. So my guess is that the containers will be delayed if order have to wait for lights to be added. Installing the lights is done by 1 person by hand - it takes a lot of time....

Also - the light kits were not available until a couple of weeks ago. So my guess is that the 1st orders did not have this option yet....

Hope this explanation helps...
