I have been told by Motors and Rotors the motor will fit an Alfa edf model, could be a good home? I don't know the specs of the Phase 3 motor, even though i have a new F16 in the box, i haven't looked yet!!

"You can actually connect the battery to any socket as the pos and neg are on a strip. If you need to, connect the servo and the battery to the socket via a Y lead"
Thats what i thought but i wasn't 100% sure.

I take it this is an electric model?? Is it a 3 function (rudder, elevator, throttle) or 4 (aileron, elevator, throttle, rudder)? The ESC will normally power the receiver through channel 3 via the BEC, unless you are using a seperate receiver pack. In this case i believe you would use a Y lead to connect the receiver pack/switch and rudder servo if its a 4 function model to channel 4 on the receiver.

Nope, just trying to be helpful to my fellow modellers. I work for a well known telecomms company
I got the link from a thread on the ezone, dated some 5 years ago.
If its a problem please scrub this thread

I haven't paid anything for it, i just clicked on continue and it works.
EDIT i think it might have a 21 day evaluation period...

Hi, hope this is ok to post. I found a few years ago now a program which can print out patterns for an EDF tailcone, or other needs. You put in the dimensions of the cone (diameter each end and length) and it prints a pattern. I used this in my Kyosho F16 to make a suitable tailcone for a Minifan and it worked well. The link is http://www.pulserate.com/ Thought this might be useful for someone out there
My new Phase 3 F-16 thoughts...

Hi, I have just built and flown my new Phase 3 F-16 and wanted to offer my 2p's worth on it.
Firstly, unless i am going mad the instructions on setting up the servos for left and right appear to be wrong, ie the wrong way round. This is from the perspective of sitting in the cockpit. The second thing i did to try and give the underneath some protection was to cover the whole bottom moulding with light weight tissue and poly-c. This seems to have worked quite well, i have used 4 coats, the first to stick the damp tissue on.
Another thing i would suggest is if you are using a 170g plus Lipo like my TP 3S 2200 i would move the fan back say 45mm rather than 40mm, as the Lipo did not leave me a lot of room for the receiver to fit behind it (balanced at approx 170mm from trailing edge of wing)
The last point i have is regarding the control throws. I don't know if i have a freak model, but the settings in the manual are far too much!!! I nearly lost it first flight what with trying to trim it right and up while fighting the model attempting to do 3D manouveres. I haven't measured them yet, but my second flight was with 60% rates on both with 20% expo. The roll was much better, still a bit too much elevator imo.
I hope this may help someone, it seems like a good model once trimmed and calmed down
