Ok guys, I dont know what to do.

I have a Byron F16 that I converted to turbine, I used too heavy a carbonfiber mat to strenthing the fuze and made it a little heavy. I fiberglassed the wings and stabs.

Ok, so I have flown this thing with a very heavy AMT 180 turbine at around 22.75 pounds dry. and it takes off ok, and flys ok but lands like crap even with flaps.

I removed the AMT and put in a P80 Jet cat more power 21 pounds of thrust vs 18 and made the jet lighter, to 21 pounds, landings were better but still most coused me gref.

This is the wing information.

I was going to turn this F16 into a F16Xl for more wing area, I got the designs for the new wings off a magazen from Ivan from 20 years ago, but no one will cut the wing cors as it take 3 cores for each wing.

So I thought about just increassing the span 4inches per side and maybe decressing the taper a little at the tips to pick up some sqin to light the wing loading, but I dont really know how much to shoot for, I dont want the wing to look like crap, just a little bigger than stock.

but the question is how much bigger would it need to be to make a diffrance?

I do have 4 other jets so its not lack of exsperace, but I just cant get this F16 to land with out damage.

What would you guys do, I hate to give up on such a great jet.

Thanks

Mike
