E-flite F-16 Thunderbirds EDF BNF Basic Jet Airplane w/AS3X & SAFE Technology

Electric R/C F-16 Warbird

The E-flite F-16 Thunderbirds 70mm EDF jet is a scale replica of the iconic aircraft flown by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds demonstration team. Like the full-scale airshow thriller, this F-16 has an incredibly wide performance envelope, from slow and stable high-alpha flight to amazing high-speed and vertical capabilities!

The F-16's unique design offers incredible handling through a wide flight envelope and speed range. It's capable of rock-solid high-speed flight so you can perform locked-in low-level flybys and aerobatic maneuvers including giant loops, point rolls, and more. It’s also capable of slowing down to deliver smooth and stable high-alpha flight and for easier landings. The 12-blade 70mm fan, upgraded 1900Kv brushless Inrunner motor and 85-amp ESC combine with your 6S 3200–4000mAh +C30 LiPo battery to deliver nearly unlimited vertical performance and a fantastic speed range with virtually instantaneous throttle response. But what makes the experience truly rewarding is the amazing sound produced by the power system, it’s almost like a real turbine engine. The steerable nose wheel and main gear feature reliable electric retract units equipped with metal components to deliver excellent ground handling. Plus, the shock-absorbing struts make it possible to operate from a variety of paved, dirt and even some manicured grass surfaces.

This mid-sized F-16 model is equipped with exclusive Spektrum AS3X and SAFE Select technologies. AS3X works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence to deliver a locked-in feel that makes it seem like you’re flying a much larger airplane. Optional-use SAFE Select offers pitch and bank angle limits along with automatic self-leveling that can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch! And if you don’t want to enable the SAFE Select features, simply bind the receiver normally and only AS3X will be active! In addition, The Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC provides a variety of real-time power system-related telemetry data including overall battery voltage, current draw, motor RPM, and more!
