Introduction
The F-16 Battling Falcon is one of the most acknowledged and effective single-engine fighters on the planet. Its amazing efficiency and abilities are why the world-renowned U.S. Flying force Thunderbirds presentation team selects to run it with distinction at airshows around the world. The E-flite® F-16 Thunderbirds 80mm EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) is an Extra Scale design based on the single-seat F-16C variation which entered production in 1984. This replica is nearly as large as other 90mm EDF designs, yet the effective power system provides much better general efficiency and longer flight times when utilizing typical six 4000–7000mAh batteries. The fully-painted white plus red and blue surface reproduces the renowned Thunderbirds plan in spectacular fashion, while Extra Scale details and functional features — consisting of the most scale-like landing gear installed on an F-16 EDF design yet — combine to deliver an unrivaled flying experience!

The Most intelligent and A Lot Of Detailed High-performance Thunderbirds Design Yet!
The E-flite® F-16 Thunderbirds 80mm EDF jet is the Most intelligent and most in-depth high-performance design of the renowned airshow airplane yet! Extra Scale details, consisting of molded-in panel lines, simulated antennas, indicators, sensing units and more, take realism to the next level. Functional Extra Scale features include LED navigation and landing lights, full-flying stabs, optional-use flaperons, sequenced gear doors plus the most scale-like retractable landing gear installed on an F-16 EDF design yet. Both versions include 9 factory-installed digital, metal-geared servos, and with the ARF Plus variation you can set up the suitable receiver and an 80mm EDF power system of your option — from another similar class design or utilizing other suitable components.

The BNF® Standard variation includes a V2 12-blade 80mm fan, high-power 2100Kv brushless inrunner motor, and a 100-amp Spektrum Bird™ Smart ESC to deliver fantastic efficiency with popular six 4000–7000mAh LiPo batteries – plus an extraordinary turbine-like sound. This effective power system offers much better efficiency and longer flight times than the 6S-compatible power systems used in similar-sized designs powered by 90mm EDFs. It's also geared up with a factory-installed Spektrum™ AR8360T receiver featuring exclusive AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select innovations. When utilizing suitable transmitters, the receiver and Smart ESC supply general battery voltage, existing, motor RPM and other telemetry information in real-time – with Smart and non-Smart batteries – in addition to optional-use motor reversing to shorten rollouts after landing and for other unique ground handling abilities. Constructed of molded EPO with plastic-capped strakes, hatch edges and openings to avoid 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 all set to fly in much less time than other similar class designs!

Detailed Durability
Building and construction with totally molded EPO material makes it possible to duplicate complex details and shapes in a light-weight yet durable form. The result is an impressive scale look that's easy to maintain and provides the very best possible flight experience. Plus, the plastic-capped strakes, hatch edges, and opening improve toughness to avoid damage and paint cracking throughout handling 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, deliver crisp, precise, and reputable control at every speed. Optional use flaperons are also pre-programmed for correct operation with AS3X and SAFE Select in the BNF Standard variation.
 






Easy Assembly
No glue is required for assembly, and you can have the F-16 all set to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery! The full-flying stabs, plus the two-piece wing with hands-free connections, bolt into place and can easily be gotten rid of for hassle-free 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, reproduces the renowned U.S. Flying force Thunderbirds airshow plan in spectacular, Extra Scale fashion.
