Hi Anton,

I have now ordered the 1/5 F-16 )

Will it be possible for you to post close-up pictures of the Ordinance Set - especially the external tanks and pylons / bombs for STA 3 & 7.

Thank you

I ran my JC Mammoth (SP) on the ground at full throttle and the forward intake collapses (bottom). I will reinforce the intake (through nose wheelwell) but my question is should I remove the upper half of the bypass to reduce this problem or are there more benefits to keep full bypass?

MNModels

Hi TJ,

Yes...we never ran bypass on f16 yet...so please support the inlet with carbon tows or cloth.....

Hey guys, do you think the airpower ev5u-pro will be ok for the landing gear on this jet? Also, I know everyone is saying to use the Kingtech 210 or similar but will the Kingtech K-180 fly this jet in a scale like manner? Thanks
Also, will the Hitec 7954 servos be good for this size of jet? They are fast while pushing 403oz. Thanks

Anton I dont suppose they can start drilling out the aft part of the missiles, it would add some scale detail and get rid of some weight. Just a thought
I looked a few of these at KY jets but I dont think a single one flew, unless I missed it.

only a few customers received the ordinance kits, sorry, the products of ordinance kits are delay . so, i still not see the F-16 1/5 fly with the full ordinance from customers yet, only Likai did it.,

I have flown mine with all the ordinance, plenty of pics on my Facebook page J.C. Alvarez. Plane flys great with all the ordinance, just needed a little elevator trim CG was good with all equipment on. My CG is at 305.

J.C. Nice looking bird. That one is on my short list. Glad to see you doing great with it. Have you let Marvin have the sticks yet?

You move the CG back.. i read people flying with 265.. the plane is better with 305?

j.c.a.

My Feedback: (2)

Yes I have and he said it is he best F-16 he has flown . and Marvin has flown quite a few. The F-16 is one of his favorites.

Yes I moved my CG gradually to 305 and really like the way it flys and lands. I have a Mammoth turbine and smoke tank on mine.

What happened to the ventral fins between the photo in the start up area and and the take off? The ventral fins are not on during the flight.

It is good to see that there does not seem to be any yaw instability at high AOA during rolling maneuvers with out the ventral fins. I see this as very good news for the stability for the 1/5 F-16 model.

Can you tell us the take off weight and where the CG was set for this flight. I hope to take delivery of my kit next month.

Thanks

Gary Jones

pilot tw

i just call this guy, who said first flight was forget install the ventral fins and do not know the take off weight , the CG is 280mm like the manual.,

here is second flight video with the smoke,

Bold maiden flight. If it weren't for the large F18C on the way I'd have ordered one of these by now. Nice work again SM

Anton-
There is a picture on Facebook of a 1/5 F-16 with scale details like AOA sensor, etc on it. Are you going to offer scale detail kit for the 1/5 F-16 ?

pilot tw

yes, this is RTF finished at Skymaster factory., and we will release these scale probe detail set on Oct , please waiting a few weeks that we will update to our F-16 1/5 web page.,
