UPDATE
So, I took the F-16 out to the local model RC field two Sundays ago, and after waiting patiently for a turn to put her in the sky, I finally got to see what she looks like on the end of the runway. As the adrenaline began pumping, I thought to myself, "Self, I haven't flow with this equipment before, best you do a range check!". So I did. I walked away disappointed, yet relieved to find that I lost control at about 55 to 60 ft. After messing around with the electronics, and fiddling with the radio systems, I gave up. I ended up contacting the company about the system and they agreed to send the upgraded 2.4Ghz radio. It arrived and I installed it, and it seems to check out here at home, and I will have to check it out at the field, but I anticipate the first flight to be very soon. Check back for an update!
