Hey I know that Viper, was that Reifers?
I think I did the gear doors on that one but can't remember.

Nice jet! It still has a twin brother somewhere in Fort Worth, which I'll probably buy once my kids make it to college (hint: they are 2 and 1 years old).

RE: Fly Eagle 1/6 scale F-16 Build Thread
 

LOL yeah thats the flight suite for the cat lol
Falconwing this one is new from the factory ;)

RE: Fly Eagle 1/6 scale F-16 Build Thread
 

Good luck with the build! I have its twin sitting on my bench. I should have it ready to go in a couple of weeks. Planning on using a Rhino in it myself.

RE: Fly Eagle 1/6 scale F-16 Build Thread
 

Yes, I know, you are probably wondering how Ikeep my workbench so neat and tidy.

RE: Fly Eagle 1/6 scale F-16 Build Thread
 

is yours the 1/5.5?

LOL Why yes I was, with yours so clean, mine looks horrible :D

RE: Fly Eagle 1/6 scale F-16 Build Thread
 

It is the 1/6, just like yours.

RE: Fly Eagle 1/6 scale F-16 Build Thread
 

Mine doesnt have the nose that comes off, they said that this jet is usually nose heavy so they did away with that to save weight in the nose. Let me know how yours balances out if you dont mind.

Evening everyone, I hope everyone is enjoying this rainy Friday like I am. I did not do much today since the anal side of my personality has really bothered me today, it seems the older i get the worse it gets. I guess after 25 years you get real picky about things and even more so when its this kind of money ;) It kinda robbed my motivation so it was slow going, but i'm currently doing some little things and checking every little bolt and fit. Only things I will still need after tomorrow is a power system, batts and servo horns. I am trying to push the wife and kid out of town a few days early so I can burn the midnight oil with out feeling to guilty :)

If anyone that has this jet can take some pics of their front area and how all the wood parts lay in that would help speed things up when I get to that part. I am going use light balsa instead of the ply. I will add some small ply square pieces for the mounting of the heavy stuff, its just extra weight that serves no purpose. I still have not had a chance to weight everything I will do that once I have all my parts. so enjoy the show!

How did it get blue inside ?????... Looks pretty cool. Never seen that before !!!

RE: Fly Eagle 1/6 scale F-16 Build Thread
 

I did not want the typical paint inside, plus i wanted something that goes with the paint scheme. the pics make it look less cool but in person it looks nice and when I get the carbon decal and floor in it will look really good with the gray air tubing. May go a little lighter on the blue not sure, will have to wait till its all together :)

Light balsa instead of ply to do what? [X(]

Jim

RE: Fly Eagle 1/6 scale F-16 Build Thread
 

hehe calm down :D the the air valves, receiver, batteries et, will all be hard mounted with ply blocks. I will trace the layout in the floor and cut out for the hard mounted areas. Hard to explain it but its safe, strong and will save weight, you see ;)

hey fender,

No post in awhile you must have it completed by now;)

RE: Fly Eagle 1/6 scale F-16 Build Thread
 

I have a SM F-16 in the same scheme. Looks awesome on the ground, but it's a bit hard for me to see in the air. The camo really works!

RE: Fly Eagle 1/6 scale F-16 Build Thread
 

Actually, it has been slow going, due to one small miss understanding I lost a hole 24 hours of possible building. But never fear I will post a video explaining the hole thing, plus it's very informative :D Sunday will be a big day and in should get lots done. So I will get that video before bed.

RE: Fly Eagle 1/6 scale F-16 Build Thread
 

Okay the gear problem video is being uploaded so for people that may be interested in exactly how the gear locks take a look. :)

Special thanks to Billy for burning that over priced gas to come over and help out;)

Afternoon from Dothan Alabama on site at Bean vision productions INC hehe:) Still slow going but I am actually making progress now, this video is showing the nose gear install and some required mods to use the stock hardware. just a little hole sizing is all that is required.
Still have some hardware questions on some stuff which you will see in the videos enjoy

RE: Fly Eagle 1/6 scale F-16 Build Thread
 

if anyone that owns this jet can post what hardware they used in the nose servo mounting it would help clear up some thing. Uploading more now!

RE: Fly Eagle 1/6 scale F-16 Build Thread
 

I ditched the stock nose steering linkage. I used a Hangar 9 titanium link with a ball link on one end and a normal 4-40 link on the other.
