lovely f16 there

Erm...how does the control surface works?
Does the elevator works individually?
It does not looks like it have aileron.

Thanks

I'm not spidy's uncle but I saw the plane so I can answer on his behalf.

It does not have ailerons. The elevators are individually connected to 2 servos. It's using the flying wing design but instead of using the ailerons as the elevator, it's using the elevator as the aileron too. Hope this is not too confusing..

[spidey]

hi collectivepitch

yup, mark (shadow) is right , the plane is using elevons for controls...but its not as responsive as my uncle hope has hoped...he'll be adding ailerons to the main wings...and hopefully a more powerful motor to get some decent speed

[collectivepitch]

oic, thank you guys

Great pictures Loyn !! The F16 was certainly an "eye opener" plane !! Also the GWS FW190 ( Freeman's ) flew so effortlessly and swiftly that day !! Although the weather looked threatening, it was another great enjoyable FF on Sunday.

The Falcon F-16C is from a plan drawing of the owner Mr Thomas Nelson, by right the plan should come with landing gears that retract up after take-off and the intake actually should have ducting tube but on the picture the owner skip alot of things what? I 'm building one too but my is on a Wemotec 480 MiniFan 68mm and the scale is on 115% which is 15% more bigger than the 100% scale. Beside using the 5mm as the base wing,Rudder,tail wings the rest are all in 3mm to built it ligh.
