The E-flite F-16 Falcon 64mm EDF jet is a scale replica of one of the most recognized and successful single-engine fighters in the world. Originally developed for the U.S. Air Force and approved for production more than 40 years ago, the F-16 Falcon brought advances in fighter technology and capabilities that still top many of the aircraft flown by adversaries today. E-flite pays tribute to the full-scale fighter with the F-16 Falcon 64mm EDF jet that delivers incredible performance in a size suited for smaller flying sites. It's also one of the easiest and most fun to fly Falcon models yet when it's equipped with AS3X and SAFE Select technologies.
This kit features a 4S-compatible high-RPM brushless motor, matched to a 40-amp ESC and high-thrust 11-blade fan unit to deliver incredible performance enhanced by a realistic, turbine-like sound. Integrated composites and advanced EPO material form a lightweight, durable air-frame that offers precise handling with the factory-installed servos. Nose-wheel steering provides easy ground handling – or you can remove the landing gear entirely for improved scale appearance and performance, plus nearly effortless hand launches when flying over grass. Authentic scale touches include molded-in surface details, a cockpit with pilot figure, plus optional-use simulated external fuel tanks and ordnance. It also arrives factory-finished in a unique scale trim scheme that offers great visibility and makes a strong impression both on the ground and in the air.

The instructions do not provide enough info for a great first flight and that is why I give 4 stars. Mainly the setup is key on this plane. You really need lots of up trim to get it off the ground. This is definitely not a good first plane, but if you are an experienced pilot and have flown some fast prop planes you will be rewarded with an extremely capable and consistent flier.
Once you get it sorted it is well worth the money and when on sale this plane is a steal!!
