Its incredible performance and abilities are why the world-renowned U.S. Flying force Thunderbirds demonstration group selects to run it with distinction at airshows around the world. The E-flite® F-16 Thunderbirds 70mm EDF jet is a scale reproduction that provides extraordinary performance while also being easy to fly when it’s equipped with exclusive AS3X® and SAFE® Select innovations (consisted of with BNF® Standard variation just).
The E-flite F-16 Thunderbirds 70mm EDF jet is a replica of the renowned airplane flown by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. Like the full-blown airshow thriller, this F-16 has an incredibly wide flight efficiency envelope—from slow and steady high-alpha flight to remarkable high-speed and vertical abilities. At its core is a 6S-compatible brushless motor and a 70-amp ESC that are matched to a 12-blade fan to provide an abundance of speed, thrust and a turbine-like sound. Factory-installed electrical retracts with shock-absorbing struts make it possible to remove and arrive on a broader range of surface areas–including turf—while keeping ground managing smooth and providing a practical jet experience. The composite enhanced EPO airframe is light-weight yet strong, and the digital, metal-geared servos plus ball-link equipped linkages supply accurate control. And all of it combines to provide among the simplest to fly yet highest-performance and most capable F-16 designs ever!
Bind-N-Fly Completion Level Advantage
This Bind-N-Fly® Basic model is geared up with an AS3X® (Artificial Stabilization–3-aXis) receiver that works behind the scenes to smooth out the impacts of wind and turbulence. The result is a sense of stability and accuracy that makes you seem like you’re flying a bigger and skillfully tuned aircraft.
If this is your very first high-performance scale jet, or you want an additional margin of security while acquainting yourself with the aircraft, you can enable the optional-use SAFE® Select innovation built into the receiver. No programming is needed. Simply alter up the binding sequence as directed in the manual.
With SAFE Select allowed, you get:
Pitch and Bank Angle Limits
These envelope limits keep the plane from rolling or pitching upside down. They also avoid excessive climb or dive angles.
Automatic Self-Leveling
The aircraft instantly returns to and holds level flight when the sticks are launched and in the center position. It’s also useful for keeping the wings level during takeoffs and landings.
Easy Switch Assignment- No Shows Required
The basic procedure for appointing a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select functions on and off doesn't need any programming and takes simply a couple of seconds.
If you don’t {want to|wish to} make it possible for|allow|make it possible for} the SAFE Select {features|functions}, {simply} bind the receiver usually|typically|usually|generally} and it will function like a standard AS3X receiver.
Unique Technologies
This is the very first high-performance F-16 model geared up with unique Spektrum® AS3X® and SAFE® Select innovations. AS3X works behind the scenes to smooth out the results of wind and turbulence to provide a locked-in feel that makes it seem like you’re flying a much larger jet. Optional-use SAFE Select provides pitch and bank angle limitations together with automatic self-leveling that can be switched on and off at the flip of a switch making this the easiest to fly F-16 model yet! And if you don’t want to enable the SAFE Select features, simply bind the receiver normally and just AS3X will be active.
High-Power EDF
The 12-blade 70mm fan, high-RPM brushless inrunner motor and 70-amp ESC combine with your SIX 3200–4000mAh LiPo battery to provide amazing vertical efficiency and an amazing speed range with virtually instantaneous throttle response. But what makes the experience genuinely rewarding is the fantastic sound produced by the power system—it’s practically like a real turbine.
Capable Gear
The factory-installed landing gear features trusted electrical retracts equipped with long lasting metal components and shock-absorbing struts that make it possible to fly from a wider range of surfaces including paved runways and even yard.
Durable Accuracy
The composite reinforced EPO airframe is light-weight yet long lasting, and the factory-installed digital, metal-geared servos plus ball-link equipped linkages deliver crisp and precise control at every speed.
Unequaled Maneuverability
The F-16’s special style provides unbelievable dealing with through a large flight envelope and speed variety. 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, while also being capable of decreasing to provide smooth and steady high-alpha flight and landings.
