There are definatelly still some problems with the F-16.
The problem with a plane like the F-16 is the fact that every momentum

One other thing, an F-16 has to be landed with a pitch angle between 11
and 15 (typically 13) degrees. Otherwise it will, indeed, keep flying no

Ignore the previous replay. 100 kt is about right. It definately
shouldn't be much higher. But the lack of flaps makes it a bit difficult
at this time.
Really? Are you saying the F-16 can really approach that slowly? I'm
not a pilot, but with FGFS, an 100kt approach in a 747 or A4 or TSR.2

Pitch attitude angle or glide slope angle? Pitch depends a lot on the
aircraft, somewhere between 8-12° is typical.
I've read somewhere that the meatball/FLOLS glide slope

Now that you mention it, I just heard a story of a group of R/C flyers
that had modelled a scale model of an F-16. They encountered a problem
