Introduction
The F-16 Battling Falcon is among the most acknowledged and successful single-engine fighters on the planet. Its remarkable efficiency and abilities are why the world-renowned U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds presentation team chooses to operate it with distinction 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 entered production in 1984. This replica is almost as large as other 90mm EDF designs, yet the efficient power system provides better general efficiency and longer flight times when using common 6S 4000–7000mAh batteries. The fully-painted white plus red and blue finish replicates the iconic Thunderbirds plan in sensational fashion, while Additional Scale details and functional functions — including the most scale-like landing equipment set up on an F-16 EDF design yet — combine to provide an unrivaled flying experience!
