I saw this bird up close when DA brought it out to the Scale contest for show and tell.

Take some close ups of the plane so you can show the detail. It is Super CLEAN and very impressive!

Can't wait to see this thing go!?!

Wojtek- pretty T-33, who makes it? Im a jet novice, enlighten me on that bird
tahts actually Miller a t-38, this one was George Millers personal t-38. It was my first jet (df) it flew awesome !! I lot that one a long time ago whn an aileron linkage let go ... the f-16 was my 2nd DF jet ... i was going to convert it to turbine power , but my son got to it first [X(] ... i also had a BV f-16 i had set up for a JetCat P80 done up in thunderbird colors .... but sold that one (now to my regret)


Id love to get another F-16 , and the Y/A arf looks like the way to go, for an instant scale finish !! It looks beautifull .....


heres some pics of my old BVM DF f-16 ....


afterburner, let us know how the y/a F-16 flies !!
what do you have in it for power ?? does the YA gear look strong ?? I remember on both my f-16s , the BVM gear was rather fragile looking (never had any issues with it though .. )

The 16 is going to use an Artes SuperBee. I have one in my Yellow A4 and it goes like a bat out of hell.. She should be about 15 or 16 lbs wet RTF. The scale gear seems to be very strong. Attached is a shot of the motor that will be used.

Wojtek,

One of these days I'll get off my butt and bring my Yellow F-16 ARF out to UFlyHobbies, and you can have a look for yourself. The gear is pretty beefy, and although the mains lack the oleos the BVM gear has, I don't really have any concerns about it holding up.

Let me know when you are going out next, and I'll see if I can meet you over there with it.

Brg,

Jeff

The F-16 should motovate quite nicely with the super Bee(14 pounds,correct), but what will be powering the "Scooter"

AFTERBURNER,


Nice looking bird! There are a couple of mods I've been telling people about since the new F-16 came out three years ago. You might wanna retro them in before you fly her. Give me a call...

Afterburner1,
I have a YA F-16 ARF DF version ordered. What pilot do you have sitting in the cockpit? Shaun, what mods are you referring to?

Thanks
