Default RE: Yellow Aircraft F-16C EDF Build

Here are some of the taxi tests/brake tests.  Overall things went very well.  It tracks much straighter than last time, even though I will still need to adjust the nose wheel a little to the left.  For these tests I just adjusted the trim on the rudder.

To test the brakes I would run the plane about 1/4 power for short bursts then hit full brake.  Seems to stop pretty good.  It was very tempting to just gun it and fly away!  

Ok, enough chit chat.  Check out the video:
