RE: Yellow F-16
Which F-16 is it? They made two version at one time one scale and the other sport . Both flew okay in fan but the sport was a lighter airplane. Also make sure you put in the extra openings for the inlet greatly reduces take off roll and good luck.

RE: Yellow F-16
Im working on one right now, which I've flown a couple of times. Mine has a Ramtec/OS .91/Weston pipe. It flies great but it takes a looooot of runway.
Keep it light and use the cockpit for static display only, remove it before flight. Keep that ******* as light as possible and you will have a blast!
it looks really good in the air.

Ok, old design, hard to see, takes forever to get up, old technology, oily mess, glow plugs, wand, slow, noisy, vibration, 1 to 4 ratio, 1 flight 4 repairs.....etc. Just my 2 cents worth.
P.S Yellow sucks anyway.

1. Not sure why you would complain about Yellow. I've seen most F-16 kits, Yellow is deffinetely up there. You must have not seen the Epoxy-carbon version. Makes any Tams, Cermark, Skymaster, and even BVM look like toys. The only other F-16 I've seen that is also really good is the Avonds, probably the only other one I would buy/fly.
2. If you are complaining about DF's, just get a turbine and all of your problems will go away, like it happened with 75% of DF pilots. That's why many will not ever get passed the twin-boom stage. Typically most of the "good" turbine pilots I've met were even better at DF and mastered the "old technology". I see them locally tearing up the sky with F-4's, Bandits, yes and even Bobcats.
I woulnd't discourage anyone from trying Ducted Fan. It is cheap and contrary to what most pilots think, it is reliable. Sorry for all you former Rossi, Pico, and K&B owners. But we did learn from your mistakes.

There is nothing wrong with the Yellow F-16. It's a great flying jet. Sure there are a lot of advantages to turbines, I also fly them. My DF F-16 has 296 flights on it. If you know what you are doing you can be sucessfull with DF.

David I am not complaining about anything I have a turbine powered jet. Your # 1 statement is actually backwards I will edit it for you so the facts are stated correctly.
1. I see why you would complain about Yellow. I've seen most F-16 kits, Tams, Cermark, Skymaster, and even BVM are above standards when comparing them to Yellow. You must have not seen the quality and size. Makes Yellow look like a toy. The only other F-16 I've seen that is also really good is the Combat models F-16 which is probably the only other one I would buy/fly other than Yellow.
Thats the way it sould have been written.
