If you look closely at the cockpit side panels, you'll see two small, black Phillips head screws on each panel. On the right console one of the screws is at the rear of the panel, the other is in the...

RE: s/m 1/6 f16 in my hot little hands!

MAVPRO,

The original gear had a positive up and down locks.
The 2nd gear was completely redesigned as a self contained unit, incorporating the center "beam" as part of the gear assembly. Also,...

RE: s/m 1/6 f16 in my hot little hands!

Bob,
I got the electric valves when I got my kit 2 years ago and could never get them to work right. I even sent them back to get checked out but still couldn't get them to work so I threw them out...

RE: s/m 1/6 f16 in my hot little hands!

Hi everyone,
Well, after two years of on again, off again building, I've finally finished my F-16.
Looking at all the various color schemes, I decided on the solo aircraft of the Belgium Air...

The details4scale are just high intensity LED's with some lenses and a controller, they're hard to see in the daylight.

RE: s/m 1/6 f16 in my hot little hands!

Hi,
I'm going to fly my F-16 (finally!) this weekend and was wondering if anyone solved the problem of all the slop in the nosegear steering.
I have the original gear and there's play where the...

RE: s/m 1/6 f16 in my hot little hands!

Andy,
I don't understand why you refuse to do the rudder mod.
You've lost one rudder and part of the fin to flutter already, why would you want to tempt fate twice?
I just don't get it, why...

RE: s/m 1/6 f16 in my hot little hands!

Rex,
I guess you can do it while the gear is mounted on the plane, it's just easier to take the struts off and do them on the bench.
I did mine before I mounted the gear.
Also, some of the guys...

Andy,
Detail4scale was (is) supposed to be working on the speed brakes as well as an opening canopy for the F-16, but I haven't heard anything or if the project has even started.

RE: s/m 1/6 f16 in my hot little hands!

Hi Andy,
200 MM is 7 7/8", I balanced it at 8" which put the balance point 5/8" behind the main former.
My guess is your too far forward, but check the thread, I know that in one of the posts Tor...

RE: s/m 1/6 f16 in my hot little hands!

Is your main gear set up with the air/oil combo?
I had a similar problem until I "pumped up" the cylinders.
Hope this helps.

No wonder why my door clearance is so tight, I'm using a 1" cylinder!

RE: s/m 1/6 f16 in my hot little hands!

The UP-3 valve has 4 needle valves to control the speed of each function: gear up, down, door close, open: it can't control the speed of an individual gear.

You can slow down the gear with Robart restricters or you can do what we did years ago, use a 1/8" wheel collar.
Put the wheel collar on the vent line of the direction you want to slow, in other...
