Phase 3 F-16 EDF

It flew.

Not the fastest Jet at the field but competent and stable in the air. Needed an 1oz of nose weight to fly properly, even though it balanced perfectly beforehand.

My only complaint with the model is that the elevon linkages are a little dodgy. I've had to do a lot of work to eliminate the play in them. And the the ball link connectors don't want to grip the elevon shafts, so a bit of grinding was required to square them off.

Overall, for the price I paid. I'm happy. I'd put this model on par with a formosa, so it's kind of like airplane fast food. Cheap, dirty, but still enjoyable.

Just came across this:


Freewing F-16 EDF Jet W/ Thrust vector 360 degree Nozzle

If you're looking for a foamy F16, this one looks hard to beat. Vectored thrust system allows for some interesting maneuvers..

Don't show that jet 3D ing all over the place to the circle jocks!  It's going to push them over the edge. Nice looking model too!
