Introduction
The F-16 Battling Falcon is one of the most acknowledged and effective single-engine fighters on the planet. Its remarkable efficiency and abilities are why the world-renowned U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds demonstration group picks to run it with distinction at airshows around the globe. The E-flite® F-16 Thunderbirds 80mm EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) is an Extra Scale design based upon the single-seat F-16C variant which entered production in 1984. This reproduction is nearly as big as other 90mm EDF designs, yet the effective power system delivers much better overall efficiency and longer flight times when utilizing typical six 4000–7000mAh batteries. The fully-painted white plus red and blue finish reproduces the iconic Thunderbirds scheme in sensational fashion, while Extra Scale details and practical functions — including the most scale-like landing equipment set up on an F-16 EDF design yet — integrate to deliver an unrivaled flying experience!
