Default New Version Cermark F-16 1st Flight

Hi, new guy here again. I just want to give a public thank you to Chris (aka Stratotanker from RCU) for giving my new cermark F-16 the once over and taking the 1st flight for me. The jet flew perfectly and is super fast!! I am very happy with Cermark on this one. I ended up using springair on the retracts and a Magnum .91 in the nose with a set of strobes and nav lights for the heck of it, which looked cool on the flyby. With the big 4 cell 1500 Ma battery in the tail she balanced right at 7 3/4" from the leading edge. Here are a few pics and a 3 links to the videos we took (sorry about the clairity on them but my camera had a hard time keeping up)
