Yes it arrived with 2 x boot marks on the top. The ply was 19mm. Don,t forget the Smoke tank. Really looking forward to this one Jon. Carry on.😎

    We just saw an F16 demo at Miramar this weekend and it had this exact scheme. I had to send a screen shot to my 14 year old aviation expert to verify. You couldn’t tell while it was flying because he never turned off his afterburner and the fuse had a vapor pocket around it when he turned hard.

      It was the same jet as the model. The model was based off of it. Same number. 94047. So you actually saw the real live version of this exact plane.
      Which is going to be rare because the scheme it was painted was only supposed to be used for the 2020-2021 season and in 2023 it still has it. If you google f-16 94047, you can see what it looked like throughout the years to this last paint scheme. She looks good for being made in 1994.

    • @thelightersideofrc

      The F-16 has a tail hook to hold the jet in place when conducting ground-based high-thrust tests after engine maintenance. The hook is placed into a thick, steel, horseshoe-shaped tiedown, which is in turn bolted to the ground.

      That is an amazing RC. What kind of speeds and g loads can hit handle? I think it should be limited to 9g so it appears to fly as the real plane does. Often RC aircraft look fake in flight because they have excessive inputs and reactions compared to a full size plane. 20g turns just give it away and make them look fake inflight.

    Why would there be a tail hook on an F-16? That sounds stupid

      Most Airforce fighter jets including the F-16, F-15, F-22 and even the newest F-35A have tail hooks for emergency landings or aborted takeoffs. The are additionally used for hold backs for full power engine run ups, at least on the F-16.

    Ummmm, why does this F-16 have a tail hook? There is no tail hook on a real F-16.

      Not true. They do have a tail hook for emergencies.

      @@thelightersideofrc Looks like we are both correct. There was not one in the original design, so older versions do not have one. The F-16A, which is much newer, has a hook for emergencies. My bad.

    Are you seriously calling the ventral fins "ventricle fins"? PLEASE tell me you're doing that to be funny (even though you're failing at it). (Sigh). I guess you think that the plural of "aircraft" is "aircrafts" as well...
