Introduction
The F-16 Combating Falcon is among the most recognized and effective single-engine fighters worldwide. Its amazing performance and abilities are why the world-renowned U.S. Flying force Thunderbirds presentation group picks to run it with difference at airshows around the globe. The E-flite® F-16 Thunderbirds 80mm EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) is an Extra Scale design based on the single-seat F-16C version which went into production in 1984. This reproduction is almost as big as other 90mm EDF designs, yet the effective power system delivers better total performance and longer flight times when utilizing typical 6S 4000–7000mAh batteries. The fully-painted white plus red and blue surface reproduces the iconic Thunderbirds scheme in spectacular style, while Extra Scale details and functional features — including the most scale-like landing gear installed on an F-16 EDF design yet — combine to deliver an unrivaled flying experience!

The Smartest and A Lot Of Detailed High-Performance Thunderbirds Model Yet!
The E-flite® F-16 Thunderbirds 80mm EDF jet is the Smartest and most detailed high-performance design of the iconic airshow aircraft yet! Extra Scale details, including molded-in panel lines, simulated antennas, indications, sensing units and more, take realism to the next level. Practical Extra Scale features consist of 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 variations consist of nine factory-installed digital, metal-geared servos, and with the ARF Plus version you can install the suitable receiver and an 80mm EDF power system of your choice — from another comparable class design or utilizing other suitable components.

The BNF® Basic version includes a V2 12-blade 80mm fan, high-power 2100Kv brushless inrunner motor, and a 100-amp Spektrum Avian™ Smart ESC to deliver fantastic performance with popular 6S 4000–7000mAh LiPo batteries – plus an amazing turbine-like sound. This effective power system offers better performance 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 including unique AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select technologies. When utilizing suitable transmitters, the receiver and Smart ESC supply total battery voltage, existing, motor RPM and other telemetry information in real-time – with Smart and non-Smart batteries – together with optional-use motor reversing to shorten rollouts after landing and for other unique ground managing 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 comparable class designs!









Bind-N-Fly Completion Level Advantage
Already own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make getting into the air quickly and with the very best control experience possible much easier than ever. They come out of package with the power system, servos and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed so all you need to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, finish any last assembly, and fly!
 







Exclusive Technologies
This high-performance F-16 Thunderbirds design is geared up with unique Spektrum™ AS3X® and SAFE® Select technologies. AS3X works behind the scenes to smooth out the results of wind and turbulence to deliver a locked-in feel that makes it seem like you're flying a much larger aircraft. Optional-use SAFE Select provides pitch and bank angle limitations together with automated self-leveling that can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch to make this a much easier to fly F-16! And if you don't wish to make it possible for the SAFE Select features, simply bind the receiver usually and just AS3X will be active. Plus, the additional 7th and 8th channels of the factory-installed AR8360T receiver can be used for proper operation of optional simulated afterburner LED accessories and for other functions (7–8+ channel transmitter required to run extra functions).
 



Smart™ Innovation
The unique Spektrum™ Avian™ Smart ESC offers a variety of real-time power system associated telemetry information including motor RPM, existing draw, total flight battery voltage and more – with Smart and non-Smart batteries – through suitable Smart receivers (including the AR8360T installed in the BNF® Basic version) and Spektrum AirWare™ geared up transmitters (including the DX6e, DX8e, DX6 G2/3, DX8 G2, DX9, NX6, 8 and 10, iX12, iX14, iX20, and others) while you fly. It will even reveal individual cell voltages, temperature level of the flight pack and other information when utilizing Spektrum Smart LiPo batteries. Plus, optional usage thrust reversing can assist shorten rollout after landing and provides other unique ground managing abilities (7+ channel transmitter required for reversing). You can even install the optional Spektrum GPS Telemetry Sensor to see speed, range from house and other information in real-time too.
 







High-Performance EDF
The V2 12-blade 80mm fan, high-power 2100Kv brushless inrunner motor and 100-amp ESC combine with your 6S 4000–7000mAh 30+C LiPo battery to deliver excellent vertical performance and a fantastic speed range with practically immediate throttle response. This effective power system also delivers better performance and longer flight times than the 6S-compatible power systems used in 90mm class designs. However what makes the experience truly satisfying is the fantastic sound it produces – it's almost like a genuine turbine engine!
 



Extra Scale Details
The F-16 Thunderbirds 80mm EDF features an accurate overview and an abundance of Extra Scale details including molded-in panel lines and hatches, simulated antennas, indications, sensing units and a lot more.
 






Functional Extra Scale Features
Factory-installed LED navigation and landing lights, full-flying stabs, control surfaces with pocket hinges – even sequenced main gear and nose gear doors – are functional Extra Scale features that take your experience to another level. An optional simulated afterburner LED ring is also offered separately to further improve your experience (7+ channel transmitter required for proper simulated afterburner function).
 



Extra Scale Gear
The reliable, factory-installed electrical retracts are geared up with resilient metal parts including Extra Scale painted, articulated and shock-absorbing struts. It's the most scale-like landing gear installed on an F-16 EDF design yet! The sequenced and servo-operated gear doors include molded details on the within, and the nose gear door is also geared up with an LED landing light that switches on and off immediately when the gear is extended or withdrawed.
 






Detailed Durability
Building and construction with totally formed EPO material makes it possible to replicate complicated details and shapes in a lightweight yet resilient form. The result is an exceptional scale look that's easy to preserve and delivers the very best possible flight experience. Plus, the plastic-capped strakes, hatch edges, and opening improve durability to prevent damage and paint breaking throughout managing and when installing/removing batteries.
 



Precise Control
An overall of nine factory-installed digital, metal-geared servos, together with ball-link equipped linkages on all primary flight controls, deliver crisp, precise, and reliable control at every speed. Optional usage flaperons are also pre-programmed for proper operation with AS3X and SAFE Select in the BNF Basic 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 convenient storage and transport.
 



Iconic Trim Scheme
The fully-painted white plus red and blue surface, together with factory-applied stars on the vertical tail and other markings, reproduces the iconic U.S. Flying force Thunderbirds airshow scheme in spectacular, Extra Scale style. And unlike the paint used on other comparable class designs, the white paint was checked with direct sunlight exposure and specifically created so it doesn't "yellow" in time.
