Fei bao f-16 1/6th introduction you have chosen a model that represents the pinnacle of arf technology and factory testing. While there is not a lot of building to do in comparison to traditional modelling techniques, there is enough to keep you busy for a few evenings. Even if you have assembled ma...

It's worth taking the time to get everything pneumatic right the first time, as having your landing gear fail to retract is not that bad, but having it fail to deploy can really ruin you day and the paint on the bottom of your model. Constr...

Connect extra lengths of fuel tubing to the fuel and vent lines and submerge the tank in water. Pinch off one line and gently pressurize the tank by blowing into the other, looking...

Mark the inside front of the covers so you will know how to orient them for reassembly. • attach the aluminium l brackets to the servos as you did for the tail surfaces. The servos will face in opposite directions and the ...
