Thank you! I hope the ground effects would make this aircraft more stable, because I've just got done loading it for Bear. ;) ;D

Thank you very much!! By the way, new Metallica this week!! :party:

Here's the proposed loadout. I just wanted to see how much I could load up, just like the "real" F-16. ;D



Look behind you!

Hi There!

Clean job! I like it :) But if it's a Gunfighting plane, why don't You put "autocannon" like weapons on:) So many heavy gatling like guns...hmmm :P :)

Hmmm I see a space or two under the wings that could fit another missile.

Judging by the armament, this bird must belong to the Texas Air Guard!

Looking sweet, Eddie!

Looking good as always Eddie! A few ideas to throw your way:

Love the canted wingtips, but maybe they could do with just a touch less anhedral?
How about a new nose, keep the gunfighter look with the intake but with a longer cone for a larger radar set?  might restrict the view a little when landing.
As Shas said, a scond man might be a good thing, the pilot is going to be damn busy with such a large & diverse loadout!
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

I think that this is going to be a super whiff :wub: :wub: :thumbsup:

Thank you very much All y'all!

Mossie,
I've tried the longer nose, but just doesn't look right. Ya know like one of those monkeys with the big nose? As per your advice, I'm gonna fix the wing tips the way you described. You and Shas mentioned a two seater. Not with this one ,but the point of having to much to do stuck with me, so i'll be lightening the work load just a bit.

Thanks for the input !

Proboscis Monkey, get ya!  Yeah, I see what you mean, it could end up looking a little silly.

All right, here's the all telling primer stage. Not too bad I guess...

Thanks! Dude, you did see the Dio CD cover on the Workbench? I just pick up the "Very Beast of Dio " at Walmart for about $6. It's got all his best tunes on it, including a live version of Man on the Silver Mountain :thumbsup:
Look behind you!
