The Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon is a multi role jet fighter aircraft originally developed by General Dynamics for the United States Air Force. Designed as a lightweight fighter, it evolved into a successful multi role aircraft. The Falcon's versatility is a paramount reason it has proven a success on the export market, having been selected to serve in the air forces of 25 nations. The Fighting Falcon is a dog fighter with numerous innovations including a frameless, bubble canopy for better visibility, side-mounted control stick to ease control while under high g-forces, and reclined seat to reduce the effect of g-forces on the pilot. Weapons include a M61 Vulcan cannon and various missiles mounted on up to 11 hard points. It was also the first fighter aircraft deliberately built to sustain 9-g turns. It has a thrust-to-weight ratio greater than one, providing enough power to climb and accelerate vertically. Although the F-16's official name is "Fighting Falcon", it is known to its pilots as the "Viper", due to it resembling a cobra snake and after the Battlestar Galactica starfighter.
This is an excellent scale model aimed at intermediate to advanced fliers. It is our quickest jet and can fly at over 90mph! It is a highly manoeuvrable model that can easily perform inverted flight, loops and rolls etc. It comes pre-painted with everything you need included apart from the normal AA batteries for the transmitter. The model is almost ready to fly out of the box with only very minor assembly required such as attaching the wings. Everything you need to complete is included in the box.
Included is a 2.4Ghz 1000m range transmitter, electronic speed controller, ducted fan with electric brushless motor and 5 electric servos all pre-installed. The 4ch transmitter gives full 3D control of the aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle. The ducted fan system with the brushless motors and li-po battery gives enormous power pushing the jet to speeds of 90 mph. The high power allows full aerobatic characteristics and inside loops, outside loops, axial rolls, inverted flight, knife edge, stall turns, hammerheads, and spins are all possible.
The attention to detail gives the jet a nice realistic appearance and the plane even features a turning front wheel. The jet can take off from the ground or can be hand launched. If you are not ready to be flying at 90mph then you can also fly the plane very slowly while you get used to it without any problems. The jet is made from shock resistant EPS foam with reinforced fuselage and strong wings. Should you need any spare parts though they are all available from our site. This plane is a lot of fun and you will certainly enjoy flying this fantastic model.
