RE: F16A General Dynamics by OK Model-Pilot
Harry
Sorry to have to meet on these terms, yes I won the bid. (theres another one in the US for sale and last time I looked it was at $39.99.
I was thinking the landings would be slippery as I constructed the wing last night. Its got very little flying surface.
I'm thinking of using OK Model Mechanical retracts, but the weight penalties are worrying me.
The perry pump is a good idea.
I was going to use HS81 Servos.
Did you find that the wing and tail surfaces were stong enough for the bank and yank. Only last week I pulled the tail from a pattern plane in a dive with my Leo 37 strapped to the front of a Kyosho Minix (25 Size Engine).
The instructions are a bit kayotic. I've found that on 3 different plans I'm told to use 3 different pieces for the same job i.e. Use W14-W23-W? for the wingtip, when 2 out of 3 of the pieces were balsa stick. A bit confusing.
Finally, have you a photo of yours or any building tips.
Thanks Neil
