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

Imperio, my english teacher in high school had a term for people who write like you, its called RUN ON SENTENCES !!!! There is button on your keyboard that has a little dot on it.............. They go at the end of sentences and start the new one. Its very difficult to read your posts and understand what the heck you are talking about with all that typo globbed together.
Just my 2cents

well we wernt talking about the leading edge devices in the first place or supersonic flight, or anything remotly recognizable to that subject,it was jetlegend F-16 negative AOA cuase problems on takoff and whether changing landing gear position was nessasary, the real aircraft gets around this problem as i mentioned before by wing config as my solution, if u dont like it dont use it, what part of that dont u understand? dont respond to my post just ignore me, since u think im a idiot for flying them and its obviouse u did not fly them, since i did and u did not im the expert on this subject not u got it?, as a matter of fact i instructed both A-10 flight instruction as well as F-16 flight instruction and live fire for both, since u built them for 5 years i guess that would explain some of the problems some of us as pilots had to worry about with the aircraft, 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? and Since u built them for 5 years why didnt u suggest this simple wing mixing config thats already in most radios programing, that brings the model up to the wing config standard the real aircraft flys buy? and u dont have to be a full scale pilot to see this is the way this aircraft model or full size should be set up, hell its designed to utilize this flight control config, dont believe me call the dam factory rep at general dynamics, call jetlegend and see what they think of me and my idea, ask them if they support the wing mixing config i mentioned as a solution, or repositioning of the landing gear, since it is me they use for reference in this matters as well as others, because im/was a fighter pilot the real deal, my freind Yang and his wife Zoe at Jetlegend r experts at what they do, and they rely on the words of a expert in such matters, not hear say/inane bantering, so give em a email? give em a call? mention my name LT C Terry Alan Balnkinship USAF Retired, they know me, they can bear wittness as to who i am, wether i know what im talking about, im not a rep, but im going to give Credit Due, 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, im impressed, and to the owners of the jelegend line,,, i feel u have bought the best, im tired of this arguing over what isnt even the original subject matter, im going to agree im a idiot for alowing myself to get dragged into this nonsense instead of flying im making my hands hurt typing, well i can correct that, im going flying whoever wants to stay and argue over the wind blowing can do so, the rest of us will go fly and be real pilots, not key board jockeys that hide behind a computer trying to confuse the issues at hand instead of helping there fellow pilots be succesful at there flying aircraft and coming home at the end of the day with there aircraft intact and a smile on there faces, this is supposed to be fun, and Ryan get off the other computer and lets go to the flying feild ive just cut the grass to the smoothness of a golf course at my place/30acres, im gonna be there flying at 7pm so who ever else that knows me that comes out to my place thats on rcu im going out to fly, load em up head em out, dont forget ur sunglasses Robert u made my Oakley blades smell funny last time ya bum,

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.

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.

I am interested to know how these air brakes work in full scale so Ican problem my radio to do that. Any input? Imperio?

ORIGINAL: 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.

Mike, they are manually engaged through a switch on the throttle stick, not much programing features there. Your mechanism is very similar.

Falcon, i am pretty sure that they have two positons, 33 degrees when the gear is down and 66 degrees when the gear is up, this prevents the pilot from scraping the brakes on the ground on landing roll out. I may be off on my degrees but i know thats the config......Nick

Ah, another rep? everybodys a rep, trying to punch holes in my story is that?, well puch holes into this idiot? and for the record yes i was a F16 pilot, no i didnt build the ****ing thing/F-16 and neither did either of u, it is of amazment i must say i sit reading this innane banter, im wondering where u were when everyone was having trouble getting there planes off the deck/ let me guess ur a rep for lets say skymaster? or since u sell or rep jetcat i know ur selling skymaster and ur trying to **** over ur fellow man and as long as jetlegend stuff doesnt work its $ n ur pocket and ur the only one who knows this little secrete that i just let out of the bag it seems ur stuff and u fly better cause ur keeping information from any and everyone, well tell ya what its reps like this the world can do with out, if ya go to another country jetcat engines isnt as expensive as they are here, ever wonder why that is? its because men like u who feel they want/need power/control over everyone and they over charge, and u are attempting nothing more than trying to gain control here on this forum, do u really think everone else other than u is a idiot? and for the record the slats/flaps whatever u want to call them jetcat rep n his side kick, theses surfaces are controled buy the flight control computer/ecm not by some dumbass switch thats weight sensitive because if i feel like aborting the landing and going around for let say for a touch and go or if i just felt like burning some more rubber from the tires cause im special, the flight configuration of the wing remains the same untill the speed of the aircraft falls below a certain point or i reach over and push the button!, id give out that information here but i feel/need the power/control over the jetcat rep n his side kick, lol ha,hows that feel to get some of that control freak crap back jetcat rep n his side kick? also id get a better costume other n the one i picked for u guys? and id like to close in saying im not going to respond to anymore post that arnt constructive and only designed to discredit, and id like to say i spent 7 days pow after being shot down by my own side accidentaly, so ive given more than enough of my life to have some would be half pint dictator come up n here and try n play footsie with me, try to discredit me i live in okla my address is as fallows 1509 harwood grove tecumseh okla 74873 my ph#405-598-0132 drop by i,ll give u a free look at the product of my pow and being shot down if uve got the balls to look me in the eyes? and im supposing that ur landing gear switch as soon as the gear feels weight on the wheels also pulls the flaps/ailerons/flaperons up? well what about the fact that sitting at the end of the runway running up for my takoff run these switchs r keeping my landing/takoff wing config from being slats/flaps down flaperons/ailerons down? because this is the wing config at takoff, well in my opinion its obviouse that helping these fellow pilots with there problem is the furthest from ur mind, i dont post on these forums because of this example, if the system u describe dumps my lift then how the hell am i to go around/touch n go after making contact with the ground and it supposidly dumps my lift/wing config? doesnt happen that way, ur crazy instead of trying to help these people here, ur trying to undermine that, keeping them under the impression that there jetlegend F-16s are inferior and are in need of some major modifications, and that would hurt jetlegend sales helping ur sales therefore u get more $, i dont care what kinda model or engine a person flys id help em regardless, guess thats where u and i differ, if i was jetCat owner id just email jetcat n let them know what i think of there rep and his intentional attempts at manipulation over his fellow man, hows that for a idea

If this is the best you can come up with you need to reach a little deeper in and pull you head out. if you were indeed a pilot stick to it, cause when it come to the nuts and bolt of how the f-16 flight controls work and what inputs go into the flight control computer you need to go back to school. This is info you won't find in the Dash 1 just by skimming through it so flying the F-16 is different than knowing how it works.I've worked on this airplane for most of my adult life and I normally don't chime in on these threads but I feel the need to point out bad info when I see it.

Come on Imperio, tell us the true story!The official list of POWs from Desert Storm don't include the name you mention. None of the F16s or A10s shot down were piloted by the name you mention. Who are you really?

Damn guys.. let the little 12 year old have his fun trolling and just leave him be.  I can't believe that some of the names I have seen on this forum for years, are actually LISTENING and asking someone for advice who has a grand total of 9!!! posts  on this forum..   And if its so hard for him to type b/c his hands "hurt" and were broken to the point of almost being lost.. HOW THE HELL DOES HE HOLD A RADIO??

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>

His hands appear to work fine here....does anyone in the Viper community recognize the face in this pic?

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.
