Who makes a good quality f-16?
Hey guys, I decided on a f-16. Please tell me of some good quality f-16 manufacturers. I would prefer a to have a larger than average jet but whatever is good quality I will take. So, what are some good f-16 manufacturers? Thanks, Gary.

RE: Who makes a good quality f-16?
Yellow and BVM are great for 12lb class. I know Spiderjets makes one for 24lb size, i also think either avonds or aviation design makes one. Byron is supposed to be comming out with a conversion kit for thiers, 17 lb size. I WISH skymaster would make an ARF. HINT!! russ

HI
Avonds F16 is the way to go. Will fly the full speed range high alpha to max power. Philip is a gentlemen to deal with and his kits are good
my views, no connection other than a happy user of Philip's designs

The one that i like is the 1:5 scale F-16. It's a bit too pricy but it's a great bird. It's even got working leading edge flaps. Check the picture gallery and other related stuff at

Hey guys. Just got into St. Louis and my hotel has a computer so why not use it . Was thinking it over on the plane and I am going to wait a few more months before getting into jets. I just want to make sure that I will be ready because it is a pretty big investment and i dont want to throw all that money down the drain by crashing right away. So, when I am ready in a few months I will come back to the Jets fourm and talk to you guys again. Talk to you guys later, Gary.

Man Gary the time off only lasted a month, I knew you couldn't stay away! Go with the Y/A F-16.

Spiderjets makes an excellent F16 kit, if you can wait a few days more than average for its arrival.

Hi Nicolas -
I was interested in buying a SJ F-16 a few months back but was told that the kits were in "limited production", and the retracts were also in limited supply. Could you PM me with details and pricing, if possible?

RE: Who makes a good quality f-16?
I dont know guys. I've been looking at all these awsome f-16's and I want them all. I guess I'm going to go with the Y/A f-16 with a BVM 96 and Viojett fan. But if I'm ever going to build a turbine f-16 I am seriously going to consider that 1:5 scale from www.jetteam.com. Thanks for all the help guys, Gary.

You might want to reconsider your power plant option with the Y/A F-16. To clarify my point, read the following thread:
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/Yell...2025391/tm.htm
especially Shauns comments.
By the way, the color scheme of 1:5 F-16 is awesome (at least i like it)
Take care

RE: Who makes a good quality f-16?
For your information, my good friend Rudy Moerman has a complete (full option) BVM F-16 with Viofan, BVM motor,... which is partly built and he wishes to sell it at anyone offering him a reasonable price since he abandoned jets and prop planes for R/C helicopters.
I've seen the plane several times in his workshop and I can tell you you can buy it with confidence. Everything is never been used.
You can contact with him by e-mail on : [email protected]
Best Regards,
Nicolas.

I am powering my Y/A F-16 with a dynamax fan unit, OS .91 VRDF and JMP Systems II muffled tune pipe. It should be more than sufficient power for a 12-14 lb bird and it will cost less too.

RE: Who makes a good quality f-16?
I'm selling my RTF, your Rx, Spider Jet 16, w/ or w/o AMT 180SP. See the advert in the Jet Classifieds, a ways down.
It's a rugged model, T-Birds scheme, mechanically/structurally excellent. Fifty or so flights, some cosmetic flaws, but looks very good. W/ engine, $5500, w/o $3000. It's a steal, but I gotta move on.

RE: Who makes a good quality f-16?
Hi,
Don't worry at all that your bird will be underpowered with the O.S. .91/Dynamax setup. At any rate, using the BVM setup in this bird wouldn't help that problem if it did exist. The original Yellow A/C F-16C was about 20 mph slower than the BV one, but that had more to do with inlets than with fans. Your new Y/A F-16C will get up and go JUST FINE with the stock setup!
