I agree, the comments made are basically saying that the consumer knows nothing about eletric models and that we don't know what we are doing. It is really sad that Sam has already...

RE: ***** New E Flite F16 400 DF (Thunderbird Scheme) *****

David,
I set the speed controller up and had Hobby Town USA check it over. It was setup exactly to the specs of the book. Did you only test one motor or were your testing several. I am sure...

RE: ***** New E Flite F16 400 DF (Thunderbird Scheme) *****

With the DX7 for Ail you are using wing type setup but for the ele you are using mixing. Since you are using mixing you have to trim each servo separatly. You are most likley using ele and gear...

RE: ***** New E Flite F16 400 DF (Thunderbird Scheme) *****

It is not a CG problem. Every ducted fan plane I own has to have have a slight amount of up elevater. If you have them stright with the horizontal stab you need to trim it up alittle.

I think the SAPAC F-16 looks more scale in the air compared to the E-flite. The front intake looks identical to the real one. I also like the verical stab.
