Overview
The E-flite® F-16 Thunderbirds 70mm EDF jet is a scale replica of the iconic airplane flown by the U.S. Flying Force Thunderbirds presentation team. Like the full-blown airshow thriller, this F-16 has an extremely wide performance envelope—from sluggish and stable high-alpha flight to remarkable high-speed and vertical capabilities. At its core is a 6S-compatible brushless motor and a 70-amp ESC that are matched to a 12-blade fan to provide an abundance of speed, thrust and a turbine-like sound. Factory-installed electric retracts with shock-absorbing struts make it possible to take off and arrive on a larger range of surfaces–consisting of lawn—while keeping ground dealing with smooth and delivering a sensible jet experience. The composite reinforced EPO airframe is lightweight yet strong, and the digital, metal tailored servos plus ball-link equipped pushrods offer exact control. And everything combines to provide one of the easiest to fly, yet highest-performance and most capable, F-16 designs ever!





 








Exclusive Technologies
This is the first high-performance F-16 model geared up with unique Spektrum™ AS3X® and SAFE® Select innovations. AS3X works behind the scenes to ravel the results of wind and turbulence to provide a locked-in feel that makes it look like you're flying a much larger jet. Optional-use SAFE Select uses pitch and bank angle limits together with automatic self-leveling that can be switched on and off at the flip of a switch making this the easiest to fly F-16 model yet! And if you don't wish to|wish to} enable the SAFE Select {features|functions}, simply|merely} bind the receiver typically|typically|usually|generally} and just AS3X will be active.
 







High-Power EDF
The 12-blade 70mm fan, high-RPM brushless inrunner motor and 70-amp ESC combine with your SIX 3200–4000mAh LiPo battery to provide remarkable vertical performance and an amazing speed variety with practically instant throttle response. However what makes the experience genuinely satisfying is the wonderful sound produced by the power system—it's nearly like a genuine turbine.
 



Capable Gear
The factory-installed landing equipment features reliable electric retracts geared up with resilient metal components and shock-absorbing struts that make it possible to fly from a larger range of surfaces consisting of paved runways and even lawn.
 







Durable Precision
The composite reinforced EPO airframe is lightweight yet resilient, and the factory-installed digital, metal-geared servos plus ball-link equipped linkages provide crisp and exact control at every speed.
 



Unmatched Maneuverability
The F-16's special style uses incredible dealing with through a broad flight envelope and speed variety. It's capable of rock-solid high-speed flight so you can perform locked-in low-level flybys and aerobatic maneuvers including giant loops, point rolls and more, while also being capable of decreasing to provide smooth and stable high-alpha flight and landings.
 







Bind-N-Fly Conclusion Level Advantage
This Bind-N-Fly® Fundamental model is geared up with an AS3X® (Artificial Stabilization–3-aXis) receiver that works behind the scenes to ravel the results of wind and turbulence. The result is a sense of stability and accuracy that makes you feel like you're flying a larger and skillfully tuned aircraft.

If this is your first high-performance scale jet, or you want an additional margin of security while acquainting yourself with the aircraft, you can enable the optional-use SAFE® Select technology constructed into the receiver. No shows is needed. Simply alter the binding sequence as directed in the manual.

With SAFE Select features allowed, you get:

Pitch and Bank Angle Limits
These envelope limits keep the aircraft from rolling or pitching upside down. They also avoid extreme climb or dive angles.

Automatic Self-Leveling
The aircraft immediately goes back to and holds level flight when the sticks are released and in the center position. It's also practical for keeping the wings level during takeoffs and landings.

Easy Switch Assignment—No Shows Required
The basic treatment for designating a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select works} on and off does not need any shows and takes simply a couple of seconds.

If you don't want to enable the SAFE Select features, just bind the receiver normally and it will function like a basic AS3X receiver.
