Hi

Has anyone out there in scale land built and flown the Pilot F-16A kit. This is the now discontinued kit designed for a .19 - .25 2 stroke engine. If you built this kit how did she fly? Any comments on the build or recommendations (retracts or fixed gear?) to avoid any pitfalls would be gratefully received.

cheers

Was this the old pusher job, or is it a tractor?

Hi Philip

This is a tractor for a .19-.25 with a very very pointy spinner masquerading as the F-16 nose. The colour scheme with the supplied decals is for the red white and blue General Dynamics demonstration aircraft. Being a Pilot kit it is beautifully crafted with a set of good quality mouldings and half-a-million pieces of wood where a quarter-of-a-million would have done the job ;)

Are you familiar with this one?

cheers
