Well, I've had two of the T-Birds and yes they do yellow, my first one was really bad because I exposed it to the sun several times then coated it with gloss clear sealer, the second one I did before it was exposed to the sun and it held up nicely, and the yellow is ugly believe me, you will be doing a repaint on it I bet.

Originally posted by rifleman_btx View PostI don't know why but I keep having major issues landing my f16, I can land every other jet I have without a problem, but this one, I just can't figure out I feel like I'm coming in too fast or something, I just can't figure it out. It's embarrassing honestly. Only other thing I can think is the narrow undercarriage on the grass field. It keeps tipping on its side when the nose gear contacts. To be fair to the plane the grass was way tall as the guy who normally mows couldn't because it has been raining for 4 days straight til about 5am this morning. Some parts of the grass was almost 6 inches high. So that is probably the major contributing factor. It was one of those I really want to fly even though I shouldn't moment. Winds were also gusting to 15mph. But the good news is she did get down in a flyable condition, so I just shutdown flying for the day all togetherCheck me out on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/user/gooniac33

Could be interesting. I never flown either but my vote goes to the Eflite 80mm F16 now Motion RC have increased there prices by 10%. Bearing in mind the £580 for the Eflite comes with an £80 receive and the Freewing 90mm F 16 will almost cost the same without any receiver

The F-16, pretty much in any size, doesn't land how you think it will. I have had 50mm, 64mm, 70mm and now the 90mm version... (there will be an 80mm in there soon soon thanks to Eflite/FMS) Every single one of those planes do the exact same thing on landings!! If you try to land them like a regular warbird or any other plane for that matter it will go whizzing by you at high speed and bounce like crazy or tip and make you look like a complete novice! Just land the plane how it wants to and things will be fine. You need to get the plane in a high alpha attitude, hold it there with the elevator, use ailerons to control roll and then use throttle to control your sink rate. Its usually best not to flare it also... just fly it to the ground and it will be fine. Another thing I have done is just spend an entire battery working the landing pattern. Leave the gear down and just get used to what it does in landing configuration. Starting up pretty high and then working my way down to the actual landing itself. Learning to land this plane actually helped me with the F-104 as well since it lands the same...

I think that the new F-104 will be easier to fly with the new 9 blade set up being so much lighter than the original which helps with CG and overall weight. Same thing apply to that one as well. Just always be ready on the throttle and don't let it get too slow.Check me out on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/user/gooniac33
