Too hot on the loft so did some drawing, the launcer needs also a rocket in the future.

Two years ago today you started this thread. Amazing work!

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B
 

Hi Carlos, looking good. When it is glued to the surface it will even look better. Small tip, I made my tools from steel to get a sharper edge on the rivet.

Found nice pictures of the mirage to compare it with yours, http://www.master194.com/photo_avion...isse/index.htm

Are you counting the rivets :D, I didn't .... tooooo many :).

Greetings, Peter


tulz161, thanks man.

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B
 

Hi Peter::)

Thanks for the link.

I will try change the laton tubes for steel. Now I'm sticking with contact adhesive, it is o.k. ?

Thank you very much.;)

Carlos Márquez.

Peter, it looks amazing! You should bring it to Jetpower so we could see it up close, it's a piece of art!
(and, no, there are NEVER too many F-16's!!!):D

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B
 

BUT NEVER!!!

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B
 

Sorry, it is not on JetPower this year too busy doing things on it.
Changed the LEF seals, the lips on it are difficult to mold so I carved them in the alu. Had to replace all the seals [:o] but this is better for molding.

Hi Carlos, that will be the big question. It must be strong and the max angle is 20 degrees down and 2 up.
Thats for later in 3d design.

Grts, Peter

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B
 

Hi Peter::)

I saw that you made the lines of original hinges in the wing, why you no make the hinges like the origninal ??? is most easy copy that invent :D

The hinges look like perfect round, the diameter of the hinges is the maximum thickness of the wing, then you only need a shaft for rotating.

Looking awesome Peter. Love the picture of the rotary actuator and asymetry brake. Haven't seen one of those in a number of years. Looking forward to the next phase of your work!!!!
