Introduction
The F-16 Fighting Falcon is one of the most acknowledged and effective single-engine fighters on the planet. Its incredible performance and abilities are why the world-renowned U.S. Flying force Thunderbirds presentation team picks to run it with difference at airshows around the globe. The E-flite® F-16 Thunderbirds 80mm EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) is an Additional Scale design based on the single-seat F-16C variation which went into production in 1984. This reproduction is almost as large as other 90mm EDF models, yet the effective power system provides much better overall performance and longer flight times when using typical six 4000–7000mAh batteries. The fully-painted white plus red and blue surface replicates the renowned Thunderbirds plan in stunning style, while Bonus Scale details and practical features — consisting of the most scale-like landing equipment set up on an F-16 EDF design yet — combine to provide an unrivaled flying experience!

The Smartest and Many In-depth High-performance Thunderbirds Model Yet!
The E-flite® F-16 Thunderbirds 80mm EDF jet is the Smartest and most in-depth high-performance design of the renowned airshow airplane yet! Bonus Scale details, consisting of molded-in panel lines, simulated antennas, signs, sensors and more, take realism to the next level. Functional Bonus Scale features include LED navigation and landing lights, full-flying stabs, optional-use flaperons, sequenced equipment doors plus the most scale-like retractable landing equipment set up on an F-16 EDF design yet. Both variations include 9 factory-installed digital, metal-geared servos, and with the ARF Plus version you can install the compatible receiver and an 80mm EDF power system of your option — from another similar class design or using other compatible components.

The BNF® Standard version includes a V2 12-blade 80mm fan, high-power 2100Kv brushless inrunner motor, and a 100-amp Spektrum Avian™ Smart ESC to provide wonderful performance with popular six 4000–7000mAh LiPo batteries – plus an extraordinary turbine-like noise. This effective power system offers much better performance and longer flight times than the 6S-compatible power systems used in similar-sized models powered by 90mm EDFs. It's also geared up with a factory-installed Spektrum™ AR8360T receiver including special AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select technologies. When using compatible transmitters, the receiver and Smart ESC supply overall battery voltage, present, motor RPM and other telemetry data in real-time – with Smart and non-Smart batteries – in addition to optional-use motor reversing to reduce rollouts after landing and for other special ground dealing with abilities. Constructed of molded EPO with plastic-capped strakes, hatch edges and openings to prevent damage to the fully-painted white plus red and blue surface throughout handling and when installing/removing batteries, this F-16 assembles without glue and can be ready to fly in much less time than other similar class models!

Extra Scale Gear
The reputable, factory-installed electrical retracts are geared up with durable metal parts consisting of Bonus Scale painted, articulated and shock-absorbing struts. It's the most scale-like landing equipment set up on an F-16 EDF design yet! The sequenced and servo-operated equipment doors include molded details on the inside, and the nose equipment door is also geared up with an LED landing light that turns on and off immediately when the equipment is extended or withdrawed.
 






Detailed Durability
Building with completely molded EPO material makes it possible to duplicate intricate details and shapes in a lightweight yet durable kind. The outcome is an impressive scale appearance that's easy to maintain and provides the very best possible flight experience. Plus, the plastic-capped strakes, hatch edges, and opening enhance sturdiness to prevent damage and paint chipping throughout dealing with and when installing/removing batteries.
 



Precise Control
An overall of 9 factory-installed digital, metal-geared servos, in addition to ball-link equipped linkages on all primary flight controls, provide crisp, exact, and reputable control at every speed. Optional usage flaperons are also pre-programmed for correct operation with AS3X and SAFE Select in the BNF Standard version.
 






Easy Assembly
No glue is required for assembly, and you can have the F-16 ready to fly in less time than it requires to charge a battery! The full-flying stabs, plus the two-piece wing with hands-free connections, bolt into place and can easily be eliminated for practical storage and transport.
 



Iconic Trim Scheme
The fully-painted white plus red and blue surface, in addition to factory-applied stars on the vertical tail and other markings, replicates the renowned U.S. Flying force Thunderbirds airshow plan in stunning, Bonus Scale style. And unlike the paint used on other similar class models, the white paint was evaluated with direct sunshine exposure and specifically created so it doesn't "yellow" over time.
