RE: Converted Y/A F-16A to from DF to pusher
Well, here's the update. I've almost finished painting the plane and its about ready for its decals. Although the difference is subtle, I went with the four-color grey scheme. I've attached a picture of the rails I attach to the internal bulkheads to show how the engine attaches to the plane. This should distribute the thrust and stresses throughout the entire empennage. Most of the electronics, as well as the gear, are in. The plane currently weighs about eight and a half pounds; after I add the air tanks and missiles I hope to keep the total weight below nine pounds.
The last major hurdle is to craft a cockpit from scratch. I plan on order the CJM 1/9 scale painted pilot too.
