****************************************************************** 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!! Matt Baker Pawcatuck, CT CompuServe ID 73474, 3116
