RE: Byron F-16
good luck mate!!!
I got sick of waiting for a response and not being able to get them anywhere so I asked on this thread if someone could post a pic of the brackets or some dimensions so i could make some up locally.

I looked at them and with all the super tight angles they have on them i decided that it would be pretty hard to make them out of aluminium and not have them crack (even with the right tools) unless you used O condition aliuminium and then heat treated them after bending. So i made up a mold and layed up some carbonfibre/glass replacements and then also desided to make them a little more aerodynamic and molded them with fairings.
They have turned out to be super tough and i'm really happy with them so well worth the effort required. I used the recommened spring air's and some cheap hobbycity struts that work fine!
Another commercial option might be through JD Enterprises, who offer a knockoff version of the byron F-16.
Thanks
dave
