This small F16 has awesome flight characteristics and become a "take it always with you" plane.
Shipping:
The F16 arrives in quite a small box, but it is packed very good, so there are no reasons to be afraid of any damage.
My Setup:
Build up:
The F16 arrives quite complete ARF version, you only have to glue the wings, elevator and rudder, and of course you have to build in the electronics. This should be all doable in two hours. I have blocked the ailerons, so I'm flying here only with ailevons using a delta mixer.
Flight characteristics:
This F16 is just awesome and shows already in this small size why it is one of the most sold fighters worldwide.
The take off is uncritical, a easy throw is enough and she just sinks a little bit before she starts to climb.
In flight the range of speed is very wide, you can do really slow high alpha passes or a very fast deep pass in ants knee height. Also the turnability is very good and for landing, she is a much better glider then you would think. So you just take back the throttle and glide her in, in about one meter height you can start to pull the elevator to let her touch down very smooth with a high angle of attack. You nearly reach the aoa of a normal Delta.
