Here is a short summary of building and flying this awesome F-16 Jet in 115% size.
I decided to build it in a two seater variant and in newer Block 50 livery with a different turtle deck design, painted in IAF Paint scheme. Building her up is quite easy, in 115% size you can still use 6mm Depron sheets without problems. Using a 70mm EDF/4S setup is recommended (or similar pusher setup). I used all new 3D printed parts too. For having a perfect fit of the doubleseater canopy, you have to modify the fuselage with an additional depron layer near the canopy area. Reinforce the rear section of the fuselage sides where you find the bearings of the elevator tubes is also recommended. Use 4 mm liteply.
CG shown on the general arrangement overview is spot on. Dont forget to recalculate when going with other scale than 100%. Elevator is in 3-4 mm up position (front tip down!) when Tx Sticks are neutral, this provides a straight flight without dive tendencies. Flight characteristics are amazing and it flys on rails. Landing her is an easy thing. If you like, add wingtip missiles or CFT´s (conformal tanks on newer Block series). Have fun and thanks to Craig for a grat design!!

Absolutely stunning flyer 🙂
I build the Pusher version and included 3D printed nosecone, intake, exhaust, wingtip missiles and carriers. if you can id suggest clear canopy also to finish it of beautifully.
Build was very clean, easy and quick all from 1 sheet of 6mm Depron 80x125cm
Build guide was very helpful and there is also a build video available 🙂
power set up
NTM 28-36 Prop drive v1 2700kV
6×4 APC pusher prop
4 servos – 2 for ailerons on independent channels and 2 independent channels again on elevator for unlimited mixing through radio.
the F-16 will run on 2 servos on the elevator set up on Tailerons no problem at all and still fly superb
3000mAH 4s Battery
70amp Red Brick ESC ( needed for running NTM on 4s with 6×4 prop )
final build weight including paint hahaha and crazy pilot in the cockpit around 780g
finisher her off with Jetworks Viper Demo paint scheme
this can be built lighter without 3d pars and smaller power train.
CG on the General arrangement is on the money.
the travel i have set
14mm +/- Aileron
22mm +/- Elevator
however with High alpha flying and spoilerons i have extended the throws to Crazy level +/- and high alpha she does.
another superbly designed amazing flyer
buy it, build it, fly it, love it
