Viperpits does not go full throttle... we go FULL AFTERBURNER!!
Welcome ! ( and good luck )1. Contact Jason ( Killn ) - just do a search for jasons plans and you'll find it. Also look at www.xflight.de - this is pretty much your f-16 bible..2. Kukki has a pit for sale - it's a ripper, but built with the best of parts so expect a corresponding price. There are some commercial solutions but they are either dimensionally inaccurate, poor quality or very, very expensive. 3. Of course - many. Martin ( Pegasus ) and Arend ( white-eagle ) have some superb equipment, same with Rabbit and Dunk. But there are many others and some not on here.. Check the forum under commercial parts.. ebay can sometimes work, but F-16 items on ebay are rarer these days. There are usually subsititues available for a lot of items 4.Sorry, no idea5. The better you are with your hands, the more you will save.. I'm not so good with metal or wood... Most people say "measure twice, cut once"... I have to measure 200 times, and cut 10 times... At the moment I have gone back to the drawing board to do some CAD plans for a mini pit..
Hello and welcome!My personal experience, is that you won't regret it, once you have started such a project...About the money-factor, it depends on your personal wishes. As more detailed you want it, as more time consuming and / or money consuming your project will be.Like others stated, if you have some skills in wood or metalworking, you can save some money, because you won't have to buy everything. And if you do the pitbuilding as an hobby, it will take some time until you will make some progress. I formyself think that this is an advantage, because you can take your time to search all the items you need finally. So there will be no need to hurry in buying all the items at one month as example - and the costs won't be that high every month... Of course, pitbuilding can (and will) be an expensive hobby, but if you can share the costs over a year or so, it is possible to do without hurting your bank account too much. If you're patient, your project will be a great success!
Hello and welcome! Seems like we are in the same boat Hvor i Norge er det du holder hus da?
Welcome aboard!
Hello and welcome. Always nice to see a fellow scandinavian in here.A tip is to see the build of the pit as a road itself. It's a very nice hobby and I'm not sure if my pit ever will be finished. But its really nice to build something and to have a goal for that build. I started out with a really simple idea of a simple pit a year ago. In this time I haven't been building all the time. I'll have to wait for paychecks to arrive so I can take the next step. I have reevalueted many of the plans and parts that I have build. But I love building the pit and read all info I can get hold of. I want to make the most of the pit myself but I understand that somethings you can't do by yourself.
Thanks!I am a Trønder (Trondheim) John Fredrik
