Introduction
The F-16 Fighting Falcon is one of the most recognized and effective single-engine fighters in the world. Its incredible performance and abilities are why the world-renowned U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds presentation group picks to run it with difference at airshows around the world. The E-flite® F-16 Thunderbirds 80mm EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) is a Bonus Scale design based upon the single-seat F-16C version which got in 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 using typical six 4000–7000mAh batteries. The fully-painted white plus red and blue surface duplicates the iconic Thunderbirds scheme in sensational style, while Extra Scale details and practical features — including the most scale-like landing equipment installed on an F-16 EDF design yet — combine to deliver an unequaled flying experience!
