Default RE: s/m 1/6 f16 in my hot little hands!

to joe and chris, yes it came with ducting and bypass, which i always use (space permitting), i think that the positives of fully ducted systems are; more linear power transitions, containment of fire if that happens- a few seconds can make all the difference, and i just don't like the thought of 250 kmh wind blowing through the guts of my model! this will get a 160, either jetcat or the new booster.
some more fotos, the yellow spot in the corner of the doors was the kevlar hinge which i cut through, durr, but i couldn't think of a way to attach the door inner without distorting the door when in place, next is vac bagging for dumies 101, elevator torque arm, elevator bearings- nice stiff feel around the pivot shaft, and wheel brakes with lots of grip at 40psi. 1 main retract is in and im playing around with the up/down motion, down lock is proving to be a little fiddely but i've really only just started. if your interested-watch this space! oh yeah came from dave at scale jets australia
