Originally
developed for the U.S. Air Force and approved for production more than 40 years
ago, the F-16 Falcon brought advances in fighter technology and capabilities
that still top many of the aircraft flown by adversaries today. Its record of
success with allied countries is outstanding, and it's expected to be in service
with air forces worldwide for many years to come. E-flite¢ç
pays tribute to the full-scale fighter with the F-16 Falcon 64mm EDF jet that
delivers incredible performance in a size suited for smaller flying
sites.

Overview
The
E-flite¢ç
F-16 Falcon 64mm EDF jet is a scale replica of one of the most recognized and
successful single-engine fighters in the world. Its 4S-compatible high-RPM
brushless motor is matched to a 40-amp ESC and high-thrust 11-blade fan unit to
deliver incredible performance enhanced by a realistic, turbine-like sound.
Integrated composites and advanced EPO material form a lightweight, durable
airframe that offers precise handling with the factory-installed servos.
Nose-wheel steering provides easy ground handling – or you can remove the
landing gear entirely for improved scale appearance and performance, plus nearly
effortless hand launches when flying over grass. Authentic scale touches include
molded-in surface details, a cockpit with pilot figure, plus optional-use
simulated external fuel tanks and ordnance. It also arrives factory-finished in
a unique scale trim scheme that offers great visibility and makes a strong
impression both on the ground and in the air. And it all combines to deliver one
of the easiest and most fun to fly Falcon models ever!
