Pete, due to the weight that it came out to dry I would make sure you have the turbine turned almost all the way up. I would try to get your gear working they fly so mutch beter when in the up position. Remember to fly the jet in when on final for landing and don't kill the power till you are sure your going to set it down, Its nice to have the turbine spooled up alittle if you have to go around, Beter throttle responce. F-16's will get alittle pitch sensitive at slow speeds in high alpha flight thats were throttle managment comes in to play. Also I would make sure the brakes do not pull to one side or the other due to the narrow stance.
