I never had that specific problem with either of my 1/5 F-16 but I did have some slow doors on both. I flew both with the B300F with no by pass. The fix in both cases was to inject BVM lube oil into all the cylinders on both sides. I think there was blow by in some of the cylinders and a good dose of the silicon oil fixed it. Good luck. Post pictures of your jet.

Thanks Gary!
It just took best turbine at the Arizona jet rally, so super happy with the presence, sound and realistic flight performance. It weighs 57lbs dry with the 320... I have also added a pound of lead in the chute housing which really helps the high alpha and landing pitch attitudes. Im somewhere around 290mm back on the cg
Funny you mention the tailerons- i actually made the decision to make them mixed with the ailerons full time regardless of the flight condition last week. Improved roll rate makes it match the full scale's 320*/sec. I also have made a mix (curve) where the speed brakes deploy on a slider and automatically retract with throttle> 75% in case a go around is required. Really loving this plane! Pics to follow

Spencer, Congrats in Best Turbine at the rally. We attended the Arizona Jet Rally a few times in the early 2000s when we lived in Denver. Always enjoyed it there.
I’ve thought of the SB throttle mix before but never did it yet. Great idea. I’ve done go arounds before and been late with SB retract.
Your CG is exactly where I ran mine.
Keep the pics coming. Great looking jet!

Hey guys- ive been scaling out my F-16 and shes getting ready for a military paint job. I made cad files of all the reinforcement plates with rivets- laser cut and laser riveted. Modeled after yours truly crawling around on the full scale with tape measure in hand! Includes beef up plates for the top of the wing as well! $45 shipped for 1/5th scale, PM me if interested.

hi there, did any of you F-16 pilots experienced main landing gear wheel tilted inwards on landing, everything was extended and locked correctly with the exception of the right wheel not being straight, and if you discovered or figured out the reason that might have caused it. we inspected all the parts and everything worked and works fine on the ground, the wheel rotates freely and tucks in nicely without any restrictions, while i may be mistaken but it seems that is it very very difficult to extend the the gear without the wheel rotating therefore i think it tilted after it was extended. thank you in advance for your input and feedback you might be willing to share Skymaster F-16 1/5 scale.
