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

The holidays are finally over and i have had some time to tweak and tune. I also replaced the air retracts with Eflite electrics. The airs worked fine but electrics are simply easier to operate and...

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

Finally got it airborne. I had it slobbering rich on the new engine but it was still moving along enough to get everyones attention. Sweet flying jet! Haven't viewed the video yet but i'll try to...

I know how you feel Rick. That's why it took me two months to put this one together. I am hoping for good weather this weekend and get her airborne. I do have the balance at 7.5".

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

Rick, can i assume that you made a minor misprint there or did i read it wrong? The CG should be 7-1/2" should it not? The manual states 8-1/2". Mine balances at 7-1/2" with just a couple ounces of...

Beautiful weather turned into dense fog for most of the morning on Sunday so maybe next weekend. BTW, mine came in at 10.4 pounds. How did i do?

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

OK, took a little less that two months to build. I'm happy with that. Maiden scheduled for tomorrow morning and weather is looking beautiful in southwest Florida. [8D] Did a quick build on the canopy...

I thought about that and probably will. I hate using them though.

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

The build is going fairly well, slow but well. Stabilators are nice and smooth now and installed. Vertical stab and rudder is installed. Retracts are installed and plumbed but when i mounted the...

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

OK, retract mounts beefed up and gear installed. I am working on the stabilators now. The aluminum tubes are quite tight in the bushings. I certainly will not do anything to bore them out so the only...

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

OK, the fun begins. Looking back in the thread Steven Chao noted that version 3 had a latch type canopy. That's mine so i will move on assuming that i have version 3.

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

I just had to cut the box open again and look, i have air up-air down units. They are sharp looking though! I used au-ad Robarts for years and don't remember ever doing a belly landing due to lg...

Actually, i have a canopy and the cockpit pan. I do not have the canopy frame. That is what i need. If you make some i would be happy to take one off your hands.

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

While i failed to closely inspect the retracts i am fairly certain that they were air-up and air-down. The manual also shows that setup. I won't cut the box open again to verify that but i am quite...

The manual shows 8-1/2 to 9" behind the leading edge at the side of the fuselage.

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

Recieved it yesterday! I'm not sure which revision it is. I didn't think to look in the fuse for a number before re-boxing it but it is in thunderbird colors, it came with air retracts and the...

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

I'm supposed to have a kit on the way that i managed to locate. The only thing missing is the canopy assembly. Anyone have a spare canopy or one from a crash that i can re-manufacture?
