Ok Boys and girls (if any[sm=72_72.gif]), I think we have hit the jackpot. I got the F-16 today and it looks fabulous. The workmanship looks very solid. This a ARF jet kit, what do I mean by a kit…hhhuumm, I work for an aerospace company where we manufacture systems for space, airborne, sea and ground. When we kit an assembly to the floor, all pieces that are necessary to build and test that part is issued to the floor where the operators do not need anything else to build the hardware with…….This Jet is one of those kits, the only thing that we need to supply is the a bit of Hysol for a few pieces, the turbine and the radio. They provide all the linkages, hinges, horns, servo mounts, …… Man I am excited, I have bought ARFs before, but nothing with this quality. The gears….oh let me tell you about the gears…..The tires are inflatable, kind A cool, the gear mounts and assembly is very solid, it is made of machined aluminum parts none of that forged or formed sheet metal or aluminum stuff, It looks like they start with a solid block of aluminum and machine it down. Get this, the gears are pre installed……nice. They even provide a carbon fiber bypass (bottom half only at least that is all I have seen so far). There is quite a bit of panel lines and all markings are there. Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure……..I can’t wait to get the F-15 now, I think old Santa has been good to me this year….. [sm=lol.gif] For some reaon the system is not letting me upload pictures, I will try it on another post. Hang on guys......
