SpiderJets F-16, I know there's a bunch controversey around SpiderJets themselves, but putting that aside. I know he sold a bunch of kits worldwide.

How many of you guys are actively flying the SpiderJets F-16 ?, and how do you like the plane ?

I've built one, and have been flying it pretty regularly at my local field with 500' of runway.

Comments please.

Richard

I have a SJ F-16 with more than 20 flights. It is powered by a JetCat P-120.

It is a nice airplane to fly.

Regards

Ben

Off a 500' runway?
Well, not all of us have the luxury of big runways at our club field. Heck, those 500' aren't even paved.


OK, since were having the battle of the engine bays, here's a pic of my engine bay.

Hey Rich,

Are you going to have the SJ F-16 at Fresno this year?

Post some pictures of the entire plane. The color scheme looks interesting.

By the way....which field in the bay area are you flying from.
