Hey Frank,

I just finished mine a couple weeks ago. Overall, it is a nice flying jet. DO NOT set the CG at the recommended 190-210mm located here: http://www.skymasterjet.com/image2/f16.18.jpg. You will have an uncontrollable aircraft on your hands. I initially set my CG at 165 mm which was way tail heavy. I now have mine set at 140mm and it flies very well both upright and just a touch of down inverted. The elevator is set at 40mm both up and down and the ailerons are set at 15mm up and down. The rudder is set at 25mm left and right. I let Skymaster-USA know about the CG listed on the website several weeks ago but it has not been corrected. I also sent an e-mail to Skymaster as well. So far I have heard nothing. Shoot me a PM with any more questions.

Hey Mddog, do your F-16 has the turbine in the tail or in the center? Which size of turbine?

Sorry, didn't see you posted your answer
