Hi all, Flew my F-16 for the first time last week and was v surprised how straight forward it was. I had been told all the scare stories but it was remarkably docile, no nasty moments at all apart from a very fast landing approach which resulted in it running on for about 80 mtrs after touchdown!!. Had all the settings where I was told to have them, which was even more critical as I was flying it on a Wren 54 mounted in the tail. My only bit of damage was to the strakes underneath, they got a bit scored as the u/c bottomed out. Took quite a long run up with the Wren at full power but once in the air it was flying happily at 1/2 throttle, flew for 6 mins and landed with over half tanks so I am sure I can get a full 10 minute flight easily which would be better from a weight perspective as well. All in all its a stunning kit for the money and it looks briiliant in the air. if I was going to do another one I would have a Wren S/S in the tail or a 20 lb thrust turbine in the middle and upgrade the u/c springs as mine are v soft. One thing I did chnage was the brake set up on my 12FG, I had it on a slider but have now changed to a flick switch, can anyone tell me how to put the brakes onto full down elevator? I'm not too hot on set up and just cant seem to get the setting right. Putting them on a slider is a pain as you cant find it quickly.</p>
