Wayne,
Where did you put the magnets for the wheel sensor??? I put them on the inside of the wheels since the tires are inflatable and cannot put them embedded as noted in details. Well...they do not clear the strut!!! Dan is sending me some 1/16th magnets to try. I ground these down but they are now inneffective...lost their magnetism.
How did you rig them for Ron?
Thanks,
Rex

Awesome Bird!!!! Ron, looks good my friend. Was talking with Dan Gill yesterday and he was wondering how the event went for you and the F-4. Looks like it went well.
Crashed my F-16 on Sunday. Flame out and I goofed up on getting her in...plenty of room...I just flew her too far on downwind to set up for landing...dropped gear too soon too. SM is working on getting me either a new airframe or some new parts. Needs a new front fuse section and two new wings. The rear fuse is pretty much good as new, gear is perfect, turbine had no problems...the way the plane hit could not have been a better "crash scenario". One thing I will say, these jets are made well. Nose took it all.
Keep em flying!

Looks Great! I see the little doors on yours pop open too. This is a problem. When I redo my wings I'm going to use a separate cylinder for that little door.
Rex sorry to hear about your F16 man...[
] Hopefully you will have it back up soon.

I had a discussion with Jeff at SW and he told me that SM has come up with a solution they put in the PRO version. He is going to take some pictures of the mechanism and post it for us so we can copy..lol.
JEFF, I hope you get some pictures for us soon. please show close ups. (JEFF TOLOMEO that is)

I guess I'll have to get uncle Joe to take some more pics because everyone seems to think those doors stay open but the picture was take while they were still sequencing, they have separate air cylinders and they work fine.
