This is Flying Stylo Kits F-16 made in CZ. Oridinal model is rubber or electric-motor powerd with pusher plop, maybe use R/C.
Some day I visit Hobby-Lobby's website, there is small F-16(real!) flight video with VasaFan55 and Sagami 280BB motor, good sound and good flyght performance.
It is So So SO!! Fun!!! My eyes catched hold F-16. But that time VasaFan55 was no stock at Hobby-Lobby.
My friend's Hobby Shop in Japan, He imported F-16 and VasaFan55. This kit included text, remake to EDF plane.
So I get This F-16 Tiger marked.
Main spar
Original main spar made with 3mm balsa wood. I add 3mm carbon rod and micro glass reinforcer.
Center of spar I made cover from hard paper.
But original spar has no plobrem.
Stabiriser
Glue wings with 30minite EPOXY. Make a hole of maintenance hatch.
Shave innner body to smooth intake.
American user made flying tail, direct mout to servo holns, but I made normal erevator with tape hinge.

Makig Tips
Oridinal text say that, first cut cockpit and glue canopy, but I think glue canopy first and cut cockpit guided with canopy edge.
Micro glass tape inforcer (with EPOXY rasin) are very good.
Later works
I made exthaust extention, hight 50mm in 55mm out 48mm.
See like balel? ( Japanese TARU ) NO!
Make jig with round guide, rolled 1mm balsawood , inforce micro glass tape and carbon lobing with CAglue.
It caused 20glams thulst more.
At full power, current was 10A ( 8cell 9.6V)

Second flyght test
This time was windy too. Hand launch toward winds, nose up caused decrease speed, carefuly controll. Trims are good.
At turn care to over nose up, blended wing body made more lift at nose. Air speed is good.
It is beautiful style SIngle engine JET Fighter.
VasaFan make good thulst at low speed.
Exthaust extention works well.
