Tor Christiansen ( " icepilot " ) has posted many times here on RCU (do a Search).

There are also several easier to download vids on YouTube posted by him, like this one : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnKCz...e=channel_page

The video on hos own website you are referring to is almost 55 MB...

He's very talented...

He also made this one : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfA1B...e=channel_page

But this is still my favourite : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AoNL...e=channel_page (note also the small afterburner lights in the Christmas tree on 1:15 )

Thanks, Nicolas - I really love having my song videos on RCU!!!!
Have you started building the F-16 yet? I had flutter again on mine after
installing the P180, so now I will go with external links (titanium rods) on
the side of the rudder! This plane is FAST!!

Hi Tor,

I have gone with external pushrod on mine from the start and flown it a few times now with the 180....awesome power!! I love the slow flyby and then opening the tap for a vertical climb out rolling on the way up. This jet is very cool!

No flutter problems with the external linkage.

Regards,

Craig.

Hi Craig!
I know, the power is just awesome, and the low full speed flybys are scary!!

Great singing there Tor. Ever think about entering "Norwegian Idol"?
You've done Bing Crosby proud right there!

Tor, I would love to see how you did those multi-function displays in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfA1B...e=channel_page
Just guessing it's rotating film with a back light?? Woody.

Hi Woody - here's a link to the first thread about them:
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_80...tm.htm#8082848
There is also another thread here called Project MFD's - you can search for that as well. They are real screens
with still images changing every 2 seconds.
