Hey Scott!!!

Good to hear from you. How's going out there? Since its Tuesday out here right now, around an hour ago I was thinking I should call you to get some lunch, then I remembered your kinda outa town.

F-16 not flying yet. Not in a rush.

I put the power system in it and throttled up to around 40% while holding the model in place. BVM duct caved in. (Like closing off the hose on a vacuum cleaner.) Too old and brittle at around 20 years old. I'm fabricating a new one.

Radio mixes all figured out. Ducting and gear door air cylinders are really the only things left.

A turbine would be way easier to set up generally speaking if your surfaces are secure.

Have fun.

Steve
