Spencer!

Patty mailed mine out on Friday too. As soon as projects permit I plan on converting mine to 500 power as well. Keep in touch...I would be interested to compare notes!

Thanks Paul!

In that fifth one, you can see the difference in size between the turbine inlet and the stock one (which would have filled up that entire hole in the former).
Pretty good kit. I'm wet sanding out the glass on the wings right now!!

Default Y/A F-16 mains video

I'll see if I can hook up with Shaun sometime this weekend and get some vid of the gear retracting. I'll tell you this, it is one sweet mechanisim. As the mains retract, they rotate. Quicktime format OK?
Paul

In the meantime, check out my Cessna at http://home.san.rr.com/aircor

Default F-16 conversion kit

Shaun,
Very nice.
I already had the drawing for the bypass. Just waiting for my kit to arrive. Once it here. I'll make the plug for the fuel cell. I should have the conversion kit by mid Feb.

Tam,
Cool! Hurry up, man, I wanna fly it! I need that pipe and bypass quick so I can get some flights in before Florida Jets. I'm gonna use the Yellow Aircraft plastic tanks because the ones in my Starfire survived the crash of Starfire III better than anyone would have guessed.
