scale-jets Sufa

Thread Starter
Now that the rudder servo is firmly mounted, the model is upside down. Installed the rotating pins for tailerons. This area is very well built and reinforced with carbon fiber cloth and brass bushings for support. The rotating pin is solid carbon rod glued into the brass tube. I cleaned out the bushing before assembly with a solvent and Q tips and applied a light lubricant. Slides right in. Rock solid, very strong, and zero play.

The kit came with the access holes for the taileron servos ( on the bottom of fuse), already cut out. Same with the wooden servo mounts already pre-cut to shape. The kit also came with very nice scale panels that are positioned over the taileron servo bays that hide the entire assembly when done and before painting

This kit has been out there out there for over a decade with wins at Top Gun and Jet World Masters. Solid carbon rod/brass is supported at. both ends with bushings. I’m pretty confident it will be a non-issue. Several guys flying this kit have sent me PM’s confirming the flying qualities of their scale-Jets F16s

Always loved the "beefy" look of the IAF vipers with conformals.
I'm actually surprised the USAF opted out on them for the Bloc 52 upgrade. They add a lot of loiter time without costing payload.
