Thinking I might pick one of these up. Looking for any info. Is anyone currently flying one. How durable is the scale gear. Arf Quality? Thanks, Steve

RE: Jet Legend F16 1/8th
Hi,
The gear surprised me actually. I thought it would be a real weak point due to the complexity but I've seen a JL F16 bounced, 'kangaroo like', down the runway on landing and another that was landed almost carrier like from about 50 feet.
The gear was okay on both apart from a breakage of the small drive rod on the mains cylinder on one of the aforementioned jets.
JL are currently in the process of redesigning the small rams which lock the U/C so that explains the delay.
Cheers
Jeff

Mine worked flawlessly. Steering is Exellent. I did grind out the nose steering servo mount and installed a more powerful servo.
Nitec HS 225 MG. Jet flys very scale like on a P-70.
