Great flying.....Does anyone know why the main gear doors are open during the flight? My guess, it is a cheater hole for the turbine while hovering.

Yes, The ML Doors are used as auxiliary air intakes. The thrust really diminishes when the plane backs up!

You can find some more information on the F-16QQ here:
http://www.flexinnovations.com/product-p/fpm60.htm

The Aircraft uses the Aura AFCS for control, which is doing a fantastic job (has been flown with Futaba S.bus, and Spektrum 12120/SRXL.

Power is a JetCat 180rxi... soon to be a 220 ??? ???

Next Stop is Joe Nall.

Thanks for posting the Vid!

Best Regards,
David

David are ML doors opened by a seperate switch or as a function of a Aura Fight Mode?

Watching an F-16 hover is like watching a linebacker perform ballet. It's entertaining but just not right.
