RE: THE NEW CERMARK F-16 BUILD IT BETTER, STRONGER, AND FASTER!!!

Make sure the engine is not pointed up. Even one or two degrees down is not a bad thing, it will make ground handeling better, but 0 is what you are aiming for. If you have the engine pointed up it...

RE: THE NEW CERMARK F-16 BUILD IT BETTER, STRONGER, AND FASTER!!!

The standard setup that comes with the plane are fine for some, however if you are having foaming problems than look to these issuse. The spinner that I recieved with the f_16 was way out of balance...

RE: THE NEW CERMARK F-16 BUILD IT BETTER, STRONGER, AND FASTER!!!

One of the main problems peaple have with this plane is that the engine leans out and the landing gear breaks.

Well you can go to Cermark.com and look for distributors. You can call them and ask, or you can order it directly from them ( thats what I did). I know shipping can be expensive so good luck.

RE: THE NEW CERMARK F-16 BUILD IT BETTER, STRONGER, AND FASTER!!!

LDM, As long as you set up the CG properly and don't try to land too slow you should have no problem. Once the plane is in the air she flys very stable. The plane flys a bit faster than you may be...

RE: THE NEW CERMARK F-16 BUILD IT BETTER, STRONGER, AND FASTER!!!

I think he is refering to a variable speed up and down. The air bleed screws allows you to adjust the speed of the gear going up and a speed of the gear going down. This is mainly a scale look...

RE: THE NEW CERMARK F-16 BUILD IT BETTER, STRONGER, AND FASTER!!!

THe F-16 needs a lot of speed if you are nose heavy. It's a balance. If you want to float in then move the cg back a bit. IF you leave it nose heavy you have to land it hot. If you land it too...

RE: THE NEW CERMARK F-16 BUILD IT BETTER, STRONGER, AND FASTER!!!

Your retracts will not work with standard servos. You need retract servos. I had the same problem once I went to retract servos on the mains they go up at speed. The 6 volt might work to some...

RE: THE NEW CERMARK F-16 BUILD IT BETTER, STRONGER, AND FASTER!!!

duenasch,
If you have a short take off area try using flaperons. Put in about 20% down for take off and landings. This reduces take off lenghth by about 25%. I agree with Bob about the prop for...

RE: THE NEW CERMARK F-16 BUILD IT BETTER, STRONGER, AND FASTER!!!

RE: THE NEW CERMARK F-16 BUILD IT BETTER, STRONGER, AND FASTER!!!

RE: Looking for a good Prop jet warbird arf

All of your left over stuff will fit great in the F-16. Especially the Jett 90. The plane looks great and is a good value for what you get. The only down side to the f-16 is that it tops out at...
