Question about jet wagging
So I was out putting flight # 28 on the f-16 and I noticed some wag at high speeds, we did have a 10 mph cross wind but if I remember correctly is has always done this. Is this a thrust issue? maybe the turbine isn't in-line or could it just be winds. Only seems to do it at full throttle

My old Yellow AC ducted fan F-16 did the same thing. It was much worse when the ventral fins were not attached (I often flew it without the ventral fins following low passes).
If you have the ventral fins installed and it is still doing it you might try adding a gyro to the rudder to try and dampen it a little.

I think the bottom fins maybe off, FEJ didnt put the holes in the right spot

Great bud. Maidened my C-ARF Tutor today. Sweet bird. Good to see your 16 is still chugging along. You get the small FEJ 14 or large one? What are you going to use for blow?

Hi Fender -
both my SM 1:6 F-16's have wagged at high speed, it can be minimized with a gyro on the rudder,
that takes out most of the wagging and makes it look much better at full throttle.

Now I have motivation to put mine on

All three 1/6 F-16s I've owned had wag. However, the wag went away when I installed the wing tanks.
