Default BVM LE flap.

Hi All

This is a BVM F-16 that was never finished. It was modified very well by a guy who I purchased this from 1 1/2 years ago. (?) I installed and linked up the hardware along with a few modifications to avoid LE flap failure.

This is going to be an EDF powered BVM with a Dynemax/Scorpion conversion that I will adapt to BVM ducting. I also have a yellow F-16, both from the 1990 production, both with scale gear. I choose the BVM over the Yellow for EDF because the BVM ducting flows cleaner and with out main gear humps in front of the fan.

Air flow in a turbine model for power is not as important to thrust. The turbine is mainly trying to push out of your model.

The idea is to get turbine training so when I put my Wren 54MKII in one of them, I can be familiar with the airframe that gets the turbine.
