Introduction
The F-16 Combating Falcon is one of the most recognized and effective single-engine fighters worldwide. Its remarkable efficiency and abilities are why the world-renowned U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds demonstration group chooses to run it with distinction at airshows around the globe. The E-flite® F-16 Thunderbirds 80mm EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) is a Bonus Scale design based upon the single-seat F-16C variation which went into production in 1984. This reproduction is nearly as big as other 90mm EDF designs, yet the effective power system delivers better overall efficiency and longer flight times when using typical six 4000–7000mAh batteries. The fully-painted white plus red and blue surface reproduces the renowned Thunderbirds scheme in spectacular style, while Extra Scale information and practical features — including the most scale-like landing gear installed on an F-16 EDF design yet — combine to provide an unequaled flying experience!

The Most intelligent and The Majority Of Comprehensive High-Performance Thunderbirds Model Yet!
The E-flite® F-16 Thunderbirds 80mm EDF jet is the Most intelligent and most detailed high-performance design of the renowned airshow aircraft yet! Extra Scale information, including molded-in panel lines, simulated antennas, indications, 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 variations include 9 factory-installed digital, metal-geared servos, and with the ARF Plus version you can set up the compatible receiver and an 80mm EDF power system of your choice — from another comparable class design or using other compatible components.

The BNF® Fundamental version includes a V2 12-blade 80mm fan, high-power 2100Kv brushless inrunner motor, and a 100-amp Spektrum Avian™ Smart ESC to provide great efficiency with popular six 4000–7000mAh LiPo batteries – plus an unbelievable turbine-like noise. This effective power system offers 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 including exclusive AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select innovations. When using compatible transmitters, the receiver and Smart ESC supply overall battery voltage, existing, motor RPM and other telemetry data 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 dealing with 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 during 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 comparable class designs!







Bind-N-Fly Conclusion Level Benefit

Bind-N-Fly Completion Level Advantage
Already own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make entering into the air quickly and with the very best control experience possible simpler 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, end up any last assembly, and fly!
 





Exclusive Technologies

Exclusive Technologies
This high-performance F-16 Thunderbirds design is geared up with exclusive Spektrum™ AS3X® and SAFE® Select innovations. AS3X works behind the scenes to ravel the results of wind and turbulence to provide a locked-in feel that makes it appear like you're flying a much bigger airplane. Optional-use SAFE Select provides pitch and bank angle limitations together with automated self-leveling that can be switched on and off at the flip of a switch to make this a simpler to fly F-16! And if you do not want to make it possible for the SAFE Select features, merely bind the receiver generally and only AS3X will be active. Plus, the additional 7th and 8th channels of the factory-installed AR8360T receiver can be used for correct operation of optional simulated afterburner LED devices and for other functions (7–8+ channel transmitter required to run extra functions).
 

Smart™ Technology

Smart™ Technology
The exclusive Spektrum™ Avian™ Smart ESC offers a range of real-time power system related telemetry data including motor RPM, existing draw, overall flight battery voltage and more – with Smart and non-Smart batteries – via compatible Smart receivers (including the AR8360T installed in the BNF® Fundamental 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 show individual cell voltages, temperature level of the flight pack and other data when using Spektrum Smart LiPo batteries. Plus, optional use thrust reversing can assist shorten rollout after landing and provides other unique ground dealing with abilities (7+ channel transmitter required for reversing). You can even set up the optional Spektrum GPS Telemetry Sensor to see speed, distance from house and other data in real-time too.
 





High-Performance EDF

High-Performance EDF
The V2 12-blade 80mm fan, high-power 2100Kv brushless inrunner motor and 100-amp ESC combine with your six 4000–7000mAh 30+C LiPo battery to provide great vertical efficiency and a wonderful speed range with essentially instant throttle action. This effective power system also delivers better efficiency and longer flight times than the 6S-compatible power systems used in 90mm class designs. But what makes the experience truly gratifying is the great noise it produces – it's practically like a genuine turbine engine!
 

Extra Scale Particulars

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




Functional Extra Scale Includes

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

Extra Scale Equipment

Extra Scale Gear
The trusted, factory-installed electric 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 feature molded information 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.
 




Comprehensive Toughness

Detailed Durability
Building and construction with completely molded EPO material makes it possible to duplicate complicated information and shapes in a light-weight yet resilient kind. The outcome is an outstanding scale appearance that's simple to maintain and delivers the very best possible flight experience. Plus, the plastic-capped strakes, hatch edges, and opening improve toughness to avoid damage and paint breaking during dealing with and when installing/removing batteries.
 

Exact Control

Precise Control
A total of 9 factory-installed digital, metal-geared servos, together with ball-link equipped linkages on all main flight controls, provide crisp, accurate, and trusted control at every speed. Optional use flaperons are also pre-programmed for correct operation with AS3X and SAFE Select in the BNF Fundamental version.
 




Easy Assembly

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 location and can easily be eliminated for convenient storage and transportation.
 

Iconic Trim Scheme

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 renowned U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds airshow scheme in spectacular, Extra Scale style. And unlike the paint used on other comparable class designs, the white paint was tested with direct sunlight exposure and specifically developed so it doesn't "yellow" with time.
