THE NEW CERMARK F-16 BUILD IT BETTER, STRONGER, AND FASTER!!!
#1901

Okay, so you're running a 1.08 OS. That's more motor than Cermark specified for that ship. Be careful. Did you beef up the Motor mounts? Nothing you can really do to strengthen the airframe.

I set the engine down then traced it's footprint. I then cut out the mount and dropped the engine down were the prop would be in the correct center. Then I built new mount's under the original. I've been flying this bird for a few years with out a problem. Nice Plane wish I could find another. More's law applies!!

It sure has been quiet on this post lately. I have hundreds of flights on mine and it was starting to look it, I striped all the covering on tail and wings and recovered with new gray ultra coat and some minor repairs on the fuselage at the wheel openings .I'm putting new retracts to get rid of the play in them.This plane was all ways my favorite prop plane to fly.I will post some pictures when I'm done.Then I'll start on my other one in the box which is a version #2.

I’m pulling mine out of retirement for spring 2021. Needs a new battery. Got some advice from Bob at Jett on getting the engine ready. In the meantime, I got a turbine waiver this summer so have been flying a Ripmax Xcalibur which has now become discontinued with no parts availability. That thing is a hoot to fly!
what’s up with you guys?
