Default Avonds F-16

Does anyone have any good pictures of their equipment install on the Avonds F-16? Just curious where you guys were mounting the fuel pump, ECU, and fuel valves? There's not much room under the cockpit.

Thanks in advance,

This is mine, plenty of room I guess. The pump sits against the bulkhead in front of the ecu. Two valves under the puple air tank( brakes and gear). Beside the engine two fuel valves.

Thanks Peter,

Its true, a picture is worth a thousand words. Your installation is immaculate! It gives me a better idea of how to attempt to install mine, although I assure you it won't look nearly as good/neat as yours!

Thanks again!

Scheur,

Yours is a very tidy installation as well, and the lights are off the hook!!! I have a full/deep cockpit, so I have less room than it appears you have, but I think I can use Peter's method as it looks as if he may have a full/deep cockpit as well.

Thanks for the info guy's.

Man, I can't get over those lights!

Schuer,

Nice landing lights! Of note, only the Block 25 still has the landing lights on the main gear legs. Even the 30/32s have moved to the nose gear door (ala Block 40/50). The landing gear lights are a real pain in butt to see, especially with any pods on the intake. The foreign jets may be different, not sure.

Hope this helps,
Dave

Scheur,

Thanks for the pics on the light installation. What size afterburner ring are you using, and is it mounted directly to the pipe former? I thought that former was to far away from the tail cone to be very visible. I would like to do that myself. Also what T-33 is that in your avatar?

I use a normal ledring from www.airfighter.eu. Al the lights on my f16 are from this company. Works great. They can make a complete set for your f-16. I wil post a photo of the position this evening. The t-33 is from PAF modelbau. (peter adolfs i think) from germany. I sold it last year.
A friend of mine is flying whit the t bird. He use a p-60 powerplant.

Which ,cockpit have you gentle man installed in this kit ?
Is there anyone who supplies a cockpit kit that would fit this model?
Im a little half hearted in putting an ARF cockpit in a Kit build.
Is there any other options besides a scratch built and ARF cockpit available out there.
Would like some ideas and opinions of what others have done or mite recommend.
I have never done a scratch built anything yetbut, I am willing to give it a go if I cant get what I'm after.
