Hey guys, does anyone perhaps have pics of a tank installation on the SJ
F16 ? I have a few ideas but not sure which will be best
and once its done its set in stone and would hate to have to back peddle
because of a better idea after Im done.
Im trying to keep the main fuel volume as close to the turbine as
possible and with as few seperate tanks as I can and this is where the
options come in. If someone can help with ideas on how they did it that
could confirm one of my current options or give me a new idea.
Thanks in advance

Don't have any pictures, but helped some friends with some back in the day. They had 6! Sullivan 16oz V
boat tanks, two behind the back former.

Dud you get my mail about the throws and CG?

CR Tech

Hi icepilot I didnt get your mail. but I did get pics on the other thread. If you have the full manual could you mail it to me please at [email protected] . Thanks

icepilot

Sorry, man - I have it on paper only and there are 63 pages. Which turbine will you be using?

CR Tech

No problem Ice pilot. Someone here in SA will be sending me the PDF soon I hope.

I have a BMT 120 that Id like to use in it. But I have tp do some mods first. Iv removed all of the tanks and would like to redo but with molded tanks which is the reason for the thead. Then Im busy upgrading the main gear and nose wheel oleos which went to the engineer today for a small mod to fit the current gear mechanisim. Then Id also like to install ailerons in the wings to be used as flaperons and actually mainly for flap function. then the entire inside of the fuz will get a new fresh install. Then fly

OK, man, it's a fun plane to fly, and will be very fast with the 120. Here is the original 6 tank plan for "big" turbines, like the 120.

CR Tech

Thanks, actually I wont be flying it fast at all. I prefer a more scale flight and speed with scale maneuvers. Actualy I am putting the 120 in to alow me to fly slower if that makes sense to you.

Thank you for that Im going to have a look now. much apreciated

I only (well, almost) fly F-16, I have had 3 SpiderJets and 3 Skymaster 1:6 F-16's, and I always fly very scale-like and smooth. My SpiderJets had a SimJet 130N turbine, and that was rather overpowered, so a 120 and good throttle management should be a good combo.
