It\u0026amp;apos;s the Smartest and most detailed high-performance model of the iconic airshow aircraft yet!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F-16 Fighting Falcon is one of the most recognized and successful single-engine fighters in the world. Its amazing performance and capabilities are why the world-renowned U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds demonstration 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 Extra Scale model based on the single-seat F-16C variant which entered production in 1984. This replica is nearly as large as other 90mm EDF models, yet the efficient power system delivers better overall performance and longer flight times when using common 6S 4000\u0026amp;ndash;7000mAh batteries. The fully-painted white plus red and blue finish replicates the iconic Thunderbirds scheme in stunning fashion, while Extra Scale details and functional features \u0026amp;mdash; including the most scale-like landing gear installed on an F-16 EDF model yet \u0026amp;mdash; combine to deliver an unmatched flying experience!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe E-flite® F-16 Thunderbirds 80mm EDF jet is the Smartest and most detailed high-performance model of the iconic airshow aircraft yet! Extra Scale details, including molded-in panel lines, simulated antennas, indicators, sensors 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 model yet. Both versions include nine factory-installed digital, metal-geared servos, and with the ARF Plus version you can install the compatible receiver and an 80mm EDF power system of your choice \u0026amp;mdash; from another similar class model or using other compatible components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BNF® Basic version includes a V2 12-blade 80mm fan, high-power 2100Kv brushless inrunner motor, and a 100-amp Spektrum Avian™ Smart ESC to deliver fantastic performance with popular 6S 4000\u0026amp;ndash;7000mAh LiPo batteries \u0026amp;ndash; plus an incredible turbine-like sound. This efficient power system provides better performance and longer flight times than the 6S-compatible power systems used in similar-sized models powered by 90mm EDFs. It's also equipped with a factory-installed Spektrum™ AR8360T receiver featuring exclusive AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select technologies. When using compatible transmitters, the receiver and Smart ESC supply overall battery voltage, current, motor RPM and other telemetry data in real-time \u0026amp;ndash; with Smart and non-Smart batteries \u0026amp;ndash; along with optional-use motor reversing to shorten rollouts after landing and for other special ground handling capabilities. Constructed of molded EPO with plastic-capped strakes, hatch edges and openings to prevent damage to the fully-painted white plus red and blue finish during handling and when installing\/removing batteries, this F-16 assembles without glue and can be ready to fly in much less time than other similar class models!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVideos\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\"
