Cermark F-16
I have a friend that had one of these cermark F-16. He said it was a really nice building arf. He said everything fit real well. The only problem he had was getting the retracts to work good. It just took a lot of time as do any mechanical retracts.
He had an OS 91 FX on it and had a hard time getting enough ground clearance for the prop. I think he ended up using a 12x10 prop. Which worked out well.
The plane was really good looking it is pretty close to a patern plane and it flies just like one. Real predictable and easy to fly.
I got lucky and got to fly it a few times and it flies almost like a patern plane. Landings were a lot slower than I expected with no tendencies to stall at all.
I would highly recommend this plane to anyone with a smooth airstrip as the retracts and low prop clearance are not to good for rough fields.
I hope this helps.
