Description

The E-flite F-16 Falcon 80mm EDF jet is the smartest, most detailed, and best-handling high-performance replica of the world-renowned fighter yet. Extra Scale details, including moulded-in panel lines, simulated antennas, indicators, sensors, optional-use ordnance, and more take realism to the next level. Functional Extra Scale features include LED navigation and landing lights, full-flying stabs, sequenced gear doors, and the most scale-like retractable landing gear installed on an F-16 EDF model yet.

The BNF Basic version comes factory-equipped with a Spektrum AR637TA receiver including AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies, along with a V2 12-blade 80mm fan, high-power 2100Kv brushless in-runner motor, and a 100-amp Avian Smart ESC. This efficient power system delivers better performance and longer flight times than the 6S-compatible power systems used in similar sized models powered by 90mm EDFs. Constructed of durable, fully-moulded EPO, this F-16 assembles without glue and can be ready to fly in less time than other similar class models.

A factory-applied 3-tone gray finish is included, with four decal sheet choices of squadron markings: South Carolina ANG 79th Fighter Squadron (Tiger Meet), South Carolina ANG 77th Fighter Squadron (Wild Weasel 50th Anniversary), South Carolina ANG 157th Fighter Squadron (Swamp Foxes, Wild Weasels 50th Anniversary), and Ohio ANG 112th Fighter Squadron (Stingers).

The F-16 Falcon 80mm EDF features an accurate outline and an abundance of Extra Scale details including moulded-in panel lines and hatches, simulated antennas, indicators, sensors and much more. And, unlike other similar class models that require you to spend more to buy them separately, it includes a full complement of optional-use and easy to install/remove ordnance including six missiles plus three drop tanks.

Factory-installed LED navigation and landing lights, full-flying stabs, control surfaces with pocket hinges — even sequenced main gear and nose gear doors — are functional Extra Scale features that take your experience to another level. An optional simulated afterburner LED ring is also available separately to further enhance your experience.

Working Landing Gear
Working Landing Gear

The reliable, factory-installed electric retracts are equipped with durable metal components including Extra Scale painted, articulated and shock-absorbing struts. It's the most scale-like landing gear installed on an F-16 EDF model yet! The sequenced and servo-operated gear doors feature moulded details on the inside, and the nose gear door is also equipped with an LED landing light that turns on and off automatically when the gear is extended or retracted.

Detailed Durability
Detailed Durability

Construction with fully moulded EPO material makes it possible to replicate complex details and shapes in a lightweight yet durable form. The result is an outstanding scale appearance that's easy to maintain and delivers the best possible flight experience. Plus, the plastic capped strakes, hatch edges and opening improve durability to prevent damage and paint chipping during handling and when installing/removing batteries.

Precise Control

A total of nine factory-installed digital, metal-geared servos, along with ball-link equipped linkages on all primary flight controls, deliver crisp, precise and reliable control at every speed.

Easy Assembly
Easy Assembly

No glue is required for assembly and you can have the F-16 ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery! The stabs plus the two-piece wing bolt into place and can easily be removed for convenient storage and transport.
