Introduction
The F-16 Battling Falcon is among the most acknowledged and successful 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 operate it with difference at airshows around the globe.

This replica is nearly as big as other 90mm EDF designs, yet the effective power system delivers better general performance and longer flight times when using typical six 4000–7000mAh batteries. The fully-painted white plus red and blue finish replicates the iconic Thunderbirds plan in spectacular style, while Extra Scale information and functional functions — including the most scale-like landing equipment installed on an F-16 EDF model yet — combine to provide an unequaled flying experience!
