My personal experience, CPC is that what you have heard about F-16 advanced version L. Gear is correct.
It has very low tolerance for resasonable hard landings.
The nose wheel colapses and the mains are fragile at the wheel articulation.
The mechanism looks very good in photos but needs some modifications in order to work well and reliable.
Above this the plane itself is a jewel.
Very good painting job, very strong airframe, good quality hardware except for the stabilators bell cranks wich I prefer those from S. Master.
Those from FEJ are well mechined but the nature of their design allow for lot of play if the flat of the stabilator shaft is not almost perfectly flat.
SM's on the other side not only counts with the "D" shape but grips strongly the entire circumferrence of the shaft making system virtually slip free.
About service from James is 2nd to none.
This guy is very helpfull.
