The E-flite F-16 Thunderbirds 70mm EDF jet is a replica of the renowned aircraft flown by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. Like the major airshow thriller, this F-16 has an extremely wide flight performance envelope—from sluggish 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 deliver an abundance of speed, thrust and a turbine-like noise. Factory-installed electric 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 lightweight yet strong, and the digital, metal-geared servos plus ball-link equipped linkages supply accurate control. And all of it combines to deliver one of the most convenient to fly yet highest-performance and most capable F-16 designs ever!
Bind-N-Fly Completion Level Benefit
This Bind-N-Fly® Standard design is geared up with an AS3X® (Synthetic Stabilization–3-aXis) receiver that works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence. The result is a sense of stability and accuracy that makes you seem like you’re flying a larger and expertly tuned aircraft.
If this is your first high-performance scale jet, or you desire an extra margin of safety while familiarizing yourself with the aircraft, you can allow the optional-use SAFE® Select technology developed into the receiver. No programs is needed. Just change up the binding sequence as directed in the manual.
With SAFE Select allowed, you get:
Pitch and Bank Angle Limits
These envelope restricts keep the aircraft from rolling or pitching upside down. They also prevent extreme climb or dive angles.
Automatic Self-Leveling
The plane quickly goes back to and holds level flight when the sticks are released and in the center position. It’s also helpful for keeping the wings level during departures and landings.
Easy Switch Task- No Programming Required
The basic treatment for designating a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select functions on and off doesn't require any programs and takes just a few seconds.

Special Technologies
This is the very first high-performance F-16 model geared up with special Spektrum® AS3X® and SAFE® Select technologies. AS3X works behind the scenes to ravel the impacts of wind and turbulence to provide a locked-in feel that makes it appear like you’re flying a much larger jet. Optional-use SAFE Select offers pitch and bank angle limitations in addition to automated self-leveling that can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch making this the most convenient 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 performance and an amazing speed variety with essentially instant throttle response. However what makes the experience really fulfilling is the fantastic noise produced by the power system—it’s nearly like a real turbine.
Capable Equipment
The factory-installed landing gear includes reputable electrical retracts geared up with durable metal components and shock-absorbing struts that make it possible to fly from a wider variety of surfaces consisting of paved runways and even turf.
Durable Accuracy
The composite enhanced EPO airframe is light-weight yet long lasting, and the factory-installed digital, metal-geared servos plus ball-link equipped linkages provide crisp and accurate control at every speed.
Unrivaled Maneuverability
The F-16’s special design provides extraordinary handling through a broad 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 huge loops, point rolls and more, while also can slowing down to deliver smooth and steady high-alpha flight and landings.
