Hello All,

Just wanted to share pics of my completed Tamjets F16. Special thanks to my Dad and brother for the assembly of my jet enabling it to be flown this year.

Thanks

Looks good! [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

I had one with a P-120SE in it. Flew like a champ.

Beautiful! I love the scheme.

I am about to finish an electric Tam 1/8 F-16 myself.

What motor did you put in it?

Love them redtails!

looks great, I love mine. flies great but moving on to a new project so it will be for sale real soon.

heres a couple of pics, first is my first flight at our field, second is in Tam's shop for final inspection before flight, all was good. Kevin

Hello,

This one has a P-70 in it.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi there,
Can anyone tell me what is the function of the carbon rod which goes through the front of the intake please. Is it to stop the intake collapsing or to stop it moving? Is it really necessary?

Cheers
Steve

It is very necessary! It does just as you mentioned, it strengthens the intake area from all the weight and abuse from the nose gear/landings. The real F-16 has it too for the same reasons.

Congrats... very nice plane. And beautiful flying field too

No it does not! LOL! :-)
The real one has a somewhat fragile inlet de-icer probe.
The structure sorrounding the inlet is very beefy and as you move AFT it becomes part of the fuselage bulkhead.

Very nice, I miss my Tam F-16, same scheme, was awesome!

Nice f-16. here is a quick vid of mine converted to electric. they fly great.

Falcon, You're right, Thanks for correcting me. I've always though it was a structural part of the airplane. Now I know better, however it is indeed a structural part for Tam's F-16 for the given reasons. So please don't omit it!

Best -16. KISS Technology that worked. Soooo easy to fly!
