Default RE: FLy Eagle Jet Models

a JC rabbit for the f-16, should be the perfect match.
I agree. I've bought two Wren SS's in the last 6 months. I told Eric at Toledo that at least one of them would have been a JC Rabbit if the engine was out sooner. Not sure that it's a good idea to get one of the first of any new engine though.

You Guys who are thinking about a Falcon for the F16 i have owned one of these engines and i can advise that this engine is to big and to thirsty for this model,
Keith and I are in complete agreement. I have a Falcon in my SM Gripen. It's a good engine in that application. The bare engine weighs over a pound more than the SS and it sucks a lot of fuel.

i have a piece of ceramic paper around the pipe where the tailservos are
Keith,

Did you use metal or plastic servo arms back there? I have the Dubro HD plastic ones and am debating whether or not I should change them to metal.

I also had my share of air leak problems. I finally traced it to the nose retract cylinder. I noticed in an old post that FEJ had a batch of defective ones in their early F-16's. I had them send me a new cylinder and it seems to be fine now. Got the usual excellent customer service from them.
