Jetlegend 1/6 Scale F16
Hey Imperio- I am having a hard time believing that you are an F-16 Pilot, and if you are, didnt they put you through personality school before OTS? You are wrong about the issue of the L.E Flaps, and when anybody says anything you divert back to "i didnt design the f-ing thing? Before you come on here claiming that you know what you are talking about, just realize that there are in fact people that know what they are talking about.(7 year Electrician on F-16's, or 20 year Crew Chief)- simmer.
BTW- Flight Simulator and Falcon 4.0 doesnt constitute one being a pilot.......
And what....giving out your address and phone number is supposed to show that you are serious, .....that you would like someone to call you out.........PLEASE. give me a break. For someone who has been a POW??? and has injuries from your time served??? you sure sound like you have alot to prove. I wonder if you would talk this talk if you were INDEED face to face?????
Only 3 F-16 pilots were shot down, captured and held POW in Gulf War 1. None were reportedly shot down by friendly fire.
Interesting
Just my 2cents

Hey guys, let's not allow this thread to become a back and forth critique of someones credibility and lack of civility. IMHO, the RCUcommmunity, more specifically those of us with the JL 1/6 scale F-16, would be better served if we continued to share our negative and positive experiences with the plane. As Malcolm Kaye has done in a previous post to this thread, he has provided suggestions as to how we might reduce the take-off runof the JL 1/6 scale F-16, with video to show the results of his mods. This type of information is useful to me whether I choose to incorporate it into my model or not. It does give a few more options to consider as I reexamine the assembly of my particular plane. After 23 years in this hobby (12 years of turbine experience),I don'thave all the answers, so I am open to any suggestion that's reasonable and validated bypractical application. So please, let's move forward.
I am interested to know how these air brakes work in full scale so Ican problem my radio to do that. Any input? Imperio?

seems the civilians with ur attitude were more interested in holding a cup of coffee than doing there job right, resulting in lives lost as well as aircraft,so was wondering if u still work there building them?
Hell no, nowadays I get to design cup holders on the SR-71. I was also USAF, but I guess that didn't keep me from drinking coffe during DesignReviews.
and Since u built them for 5 years why didnt u suggest this simple wing mixing config........I only fly 1/8th scales so far, apparentlythey do not have the same problem. I can suggest this though.............Add another set of wings, sort of like a biplane jet, call it an F-32.
dont believe me call the dam factory rep at general dynamics - Sorry to be the one to let you know, but GD no longer makes F-16's. Hell even Lockheed Martin is almost making no F-16's anymore. If you want F-16 help, you may actually need to contact Jet Legend. They bought the rights from LM.
jetlegend builds some of the best Turbine models and landing gear that r trouble free and reliable and fly the best that ive ever seen,
I agree I have the small one and it is a piece.
last time ya bum, back atcha! now go away so dad can use the PC.
Well said, David, Let's keep this forum open for technical improvements. Even the full scale F-16s have tons of problems that need to be worked out overtime. Right now, I am still scratching my head on how to set up a better flying F-16 for our ARF PRO airplane. Let's roll back to the technical things. Here are the air brake system that we made for the JL F-16 and our ARF PRO version. They will be available through our Global Jet Club in a few months. I will post some more info later.

This guy is full of BS.
This guys brags about having a full scale yak. Yet the FAA has no record of him being a pilot, if you go here https://amsrvs.registry.faa.gov/airmeninquiry/you can search and see if someone has a license and what ratings they have. Granted in his gallery he has a pic of a R/C yak, still not the real thing.
I fly with all of the active turbine flyers in OK and no one knows this guy.
These forums are about sharing information, but they should also be used to alert those who spread misinformation.<o></o>
i give up, good luck beating up the next person who disagrees with u, cause im not having anything to do with RCU and i will spread the word of how i was treated here
Don - he DOES havea Yak.....
....but it's in 50cc size. Per his profile here.
Imperio, please don't go away mad. Stay and have some more fun with us - I for one am grateful to you for livening up the forums again.
