The E-flite F-16 Thunderbird 70mm EDF is a scale replica of the legendary aircraft flown by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds demonstration team. Designed to deliver a wide performance envelope, this jet can fly everything from slow, stable high-alpha passes to high-speed vertical climbs and aggressive aerobatics. Powered by a 6S brushless system and a 12-blade 70mm EDF, this model produces impressive thrust, speed, and a realistic turbine-like sound while remaining one of the easiest-flying F-16 EDF models available. ✈️ High-Performance EDF Jet At the heart of the aircraft is a 70mm 12-blade electric ducted fan powered by a 6S compatible brushless inrunner motor and 70-amp ESC. This combination delivers excellent thrust and vertical performance while maintaining smooth throttle response and realistic jet sound. 🛬 Realistic Landing Gear & Ground Handling The model includes factory-installed electric retracts with shock-absorbing struts, allowing the jet to operate from paved runways and many grass fields. A steerable nose wheel ensures precise ground handling during taxi, takeoff, and landing. ⚙️ Advanced Spektrum Flight Technology The aircraft is equipped with a Spektrum AR631 receiver featuring: AS3X® stabilization for smoother flight and improved precision SAFE® Select flight envelope protection for added confidence These systems help keep the aircraft stable in windy conditions while maintaining full performance capability. 🛠 Durable & Detailed Airframe The airframe is constructed from composite-reinforced EPO foam, making it lightweight yet durable. Digital metal-gear servos with ball-link pushrods provide precise control response for confident flying. Scale details include cockpit interior, pilot figure, removable wings, and a magnetically secured nose cone for easy assembly and maintenance. ⚡ Features Scale replica of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbird F-16 70mm 12-blade EDF for strong thrust and turbine-like sound 6S compatible brushless motor and 70A ESC High-alpha capability, sport flying, and aerobatic performance Electric retracts with shock-absorbing struts Steerable nose wheel AS3X stabilization technology Optional SAFE Select flight protection Durable composite-reinforced EPO airframe Digital metal-gear servos with ball-link control linkages Top hatch with cockpit detail and pilot figure Removable wings for easier transport Includes Thunderbirds number decals 📦 Includes (1) E-flite F-16 Thunderbird 70mm EDF Airplane (1) Spektrum AR631 6-channel receiver with AS3X & SAFE Select (installed) (1) Product Manual 🔧 Needed to Complete 6–7+ channel Spektrum DSMX/DSM2 compatible transmitter 3200–4000mAh 6S 22.2V LiPo battery with EC5 or IC5 connector Compatible LiPo charger 📊 Specifications Wingspan: 32.1 in (815 mm) Length: 49.5 in (1257 mm) Weight: 73.7 oz (2090 g) Fan Size: 70 mm EDF Motor: 1850Kv brushless Battery: 6S 3200–4000mAh LiPo Wing Area: 299 sq in (20.4 sq dm) CG: 3.7–4.3 in (95–110 mm) from leading edge Flight Time: ~3–4 minutes Skill Level: Intermediate (Level 2) A fantastic EDF jet for pilots looking for scale realism, powerful 6S performance, and advanced stabilization technology in one of the most recognizable fighter aircraft ever flown.
