WOW, no one beside me and flylow2011 bought this jet? Unfortunately I haven’t been able to fly mine yet, waiting on acquiring a gyro/stabilizer device. If I find out it is a good flier I may attempt without a gyro. I fly my Freewing F-86 without a gyro and been successful so far.

The F16 in general is a great Airframe, great design. My first F16 is the hobby people F16, 55mm. Cheap and great. Can't go wrong with the F16, Regardless the maker :-)

I can't fly till autumn or late autumn because of flood.Look at the Photos. My flying field is like thatDuring summer, almost always . Ha ha. WaterUp to the top of the trees :-) I need water planes.Ha ha.

Oh my, changed into a large lake. Do you ever wonder how she would do on floats? 😁

Looks like a great plane but I think they should have used a 6s 64mm setup instead of 4s.

With such a smaller airframe I would think that the weight of a 6s battery would adversely affect the overall flying and especially landing performance.

Compared to the L-39, the F-16 is small. Haven't flown mine yet, it's waiting its turn on the work bench.

Haven’t flown mine either. Still trying to get my safe select working correctly.

I think I want one of these badly. But they’re not in any lhs yet and I will wait and see what you guys say when a few early users get theirs in the air. It’s hard to justify bc I have the eflite 6s 70mm version set up for belly landing already. But my thoughts are this would be even lighter and easier for the grass ops that I do and go well with my growing collection of bank and yank 4s Edfs that I’m learning to love. Losing access to a nice geo runway flying field sucks!

Finally was able to get my Thunder Birds version into the air today. Very easy for me to see with my old eyes and such a nice flying and fun to fly F-16. Be nice if she had retracts but with the extra weight penalty and additional costs I am not so sure it would be worth it to me. Grab one, you won’t be disappointed.
