The General Dynamics/Lockheed Martin F-16 is one of the most acknowledged and successful single-engine fighters worldwide. Its fantastic performance and capabilities are why the world-renowned U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds presentation team chooses to run it with difference at airshows around the world. The E-flite® F-16 Thunderbirds 70mm EDF jet is a scale replica that delivers incredible efficiency while also being easy to fly when it’s equipped with exclusive AS3X® and SAFE® Select technologies (consisted of with BNF® Fundamental variation only).
The E-flite F-16 Thunderbirds 70mm EDF jet is a replica of the iconic airplane zipped the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. Like the full-blown airshow thriller, this F-16 has an extremely broad flight performance envelope—from slow and stable high-alpha flight to amazing high-speed and vertical capabilities. 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 noise. Factory-installed electrical retracts with shock-absorbing struts make it possible to remove and land on a wider range of surface areas–consisting of turf—while keeping ground managing smooth and providing a practical jet experience. The composite strengthened EPO airframe is light-weight yet strong, and the digital, metal-geared servos plus ball-link equipped linkages provide accurate control. And all of it combines to deliver one of the most convenient to fly yet highest-performance and most capable F-16 models ever!
Bind-N-Fly Completion Level Advantage
This Bind-N-Fly® Fundamental model is equipped with an AS3X® (Artificial Stabilization–3-aXis) receiver that works behind the scenes to ravel the results of wind and turbulence. The outcome is a sense of stability and accuracy that makes you seem like you’re flying a bigger and expertly tuned aircraft.
If this is your first high-performance scale jet, or you want an extra margin of safety while familiarizing yourself with the aircraft, you can make it possible for the optional-use SAFE® Select technology constructed into the receiver. No programming is required. Simply 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 airplane from rolling or pitching upside down. They also avoid excessive climb or dive angles.
Automatic Self-Leveling
The airplane quickly goes back to and holds level flight when the sticks are released and in the center position. It’s also useful for keeping the wings level during launches and landings.
Easy Change Project- No Programming Required
The basic treatment for assigning a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select functions on and off does not require any shows and takes simply a few seconds.

Unique 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 deliver a locked-in feel that makes it seem like you’re flying a much larger jet. Optional-use SAFE Select offers pitch and bank angle limits together with automatic self-leveling that can be turned 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 only AS3X will be active.
High-Power EDF
The 12-blade 70mm fan, high-RPM brushless inrunner motor and 70-amp ESC combine with your 6S 3200–4000mAh LiPo battery to provide remarkable vertical efficiency and an extraordinary speed range with practically instantaneous throttle action. However what makes the experience truly fulfilling is the fantastic sound produced by the power system—it’s practically like a real turbine.
Capable Equipment
The factory-installed landing gear features trusted electric retracts geared up with resilient metal elements and shock-absorbing struts that make it possible to fly from a broader range of surface areas consisting of paved runways and even grass.
Durable Accuracy
The composite enhanced EPO airframe is lightweight yet resilient, and the factory-installed digital, metal-geared servos plus ball-link equipped linkages provide crisp and precise control at every speed.
Unmatched Maneuverability
The F-16’s unique style offers extraordinary dealing with through a broad 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 can decreasing to deliver smooth and stable high-alpha flight and landings.
