My choice for full composite version would easily be the Aviation Design

As far as best scale detail/options available definetely the Avonds without doubt, although not 100% composite

It may not be the most scale - but it's the best, easiest and most awesome jet I have flown!!
Ventral fins have been added, and the best thing about this plane is the correct way it "sits" in the air...
Skymaster F16 1/6

And how about JetLegend?
What is your general opinion.
Is it all composite and does it have any lines and rivets engraved?

I've put 10 flights on my Avonds F-16 in the past week. PST 1300R(awsome motor) will allow it to climb on takeoff to about 500 ft straight up before I lower the nose. After 2 passes I can then climb with Thunderbird rolls straight up until it's out of sight. With the scale gear you cant do wrong!

Jet Legends has NO revits, But has nice panel lines. it is all glass. and is very light designed for a small turbine.
All of the hardware is out of this world. it is as nice as it can be. the Landing gear it the nicest piece of R/C Ive ever seen.
The kit comes with all of the gear doors, It has he brake and retract valve, Double wall pipe Bellmouth . It is a very good value. it also came with the decals.
It however needs the door cylinder's.

Working on F-16's for 7 years i have become a stickler in looking for the most scale. The Tamjets second generation is the best outline along with BVM's. The AD is nice but it has some quirks and the Avonds is definetly not scale. If only Tam offered scale gear it would be unmatched. Just my .02

Isn't Tam working on a 1/6 scale F-16 w/ LE flaps? Perhaps I read wrong, but I thought somebody was building/testing a prototype for him.

RE: F16 - Trying to find the most accurate
Hey Pantherflyer, you got it right when you mentioned acuracy. I guess after you have spent a few thousand hours working the real ones, you know where the deficiencies lye. BV's was the closest in outline, and the latest Yellow version is a close second. I have seen the Avonds and it is missing in a few main areas. The AD is a great flying bird and presents well.
If you aren't looking for a serious Top Gun/ WJM outline bird, then the AD is probably your best bet. Not many will know where the areas of concern in outline lye.

The 1/6th F-16 is much bigger. It needs a Rhino to power it, versing the 1/8th that flies great with a Super Bee.

PS. I just bought a 1/8th scale -16, SkyMaster version.
