- F-16A Falcon "Wannabe"
- By Matt Baker
- February 1994
- ******************************************************************
-
- This is an FS4/ASD aircraft that flys like an F-16, but only
- slightly resembles it visually. That's why I call it a "wannabe"
- (teen talk, pronounced 'wanna-be'). I designed this aircraft
- using pure number-crunching, and that is how why it flys so well.

- ***** Flying *****
-
- The F-16 is a very hot aircraft. I take off with flaps at the F5
- or F7 position. At about 120 knots, lift the nose off the ground.
- The climb, like the entire flight, is touchy. Cruise at about 50%
- power. The plane will get up to about 680 knots, and the controls are only marginally lost at that speed.
- Landing is fast and steep. I drop the power and put the flaps all
- the way down, and if I need more speed on approach, I will max the
- throttle real quick and then dump it down again.
-
-
- Overall I will admit that this plane is more for hot-dogging than
- anything else. I like to record demos of barrel roles or vertical
- climbs (oops- I forgot to tell you that it will do a vertical climb!)
- and show them off to my friends!
-
- ***** Shareware / Registration *****
-
- I really hate shareware programs that aren't worth half of what
- the author wants for them, so I am giving you an option. Instead
- of me telling you what to send, send what you honestly think it's
- worth. That way we're both happy. And while you're at it, fill out
- the registration paper. That will let me know if I should make more
- of these planes!
-
- Be on the watch for the F-20(W) Tigershark!

-
- Hope you enjoy!!
