F-16 FIGHTING FALCON

Another all time great, the F16 is one of the most popular jets to model and one to add to your hangar with pride! This kit is superb quality, quick to build and the flight performance has to be seen to be believed! From blazing fast passes to slow high alfa landings, this model is one of the best small jets ever produced!

 

We have been selling the F16 for a long time now and it is still the most popular small jet. Sold in the US as Phase 3 F16, our kit is the same airframe but our entry package has a better motor and pre-assembled fan and thrust tube!

 

We have extensive build experience on the F16 with many power systems tried and tested, we match ESC’s to motors and optimize our packages so you get to enjoy one of the most thrilling of the small jets available.

 

When you order a complete Rx ready package we pre-assemble & balance your fan, lengthen the wiring on the motor and ESC, fit plugs to everything and bench test the setup. This gives you plug and play electronics to build the kit around.

 

Note: The F16 is capable of very high speeds but it is not a 3D shockie! You cannot fly past at 200kmh then pull hard up and expect the airframe to handle the loads even with the taileron mods. If you intend to do aggressive high G manouvres with a high power setup then you will need to brace the airframe extensively, even fiberglass the fuselage with 25 gram glass cloth and Polyurethane coating. See our tutorials page on this.

POWER SETUP OPTIONS

 

XF MEGAPOWER FAN WITH 210-8XL MOTOR can be run on 3 cells or 4 cells, superb entry level flight with speeds around 65-70mph on 3 cells, performance with 4 cells is 85-90mph! You can use battery packs ranging from our EXP1800 3s1p 20c up to the GP2200 4s1p 25c. We recommend 4 cells though as there is much more reserve power to get out of trouble this way.

Great all round jet suitable for starting out in EDF through to intermediate

 

HET6904 WITH 2W TYPHOON MOTOR is designed to run on 3 cells, the 2W has excellent performance, capable of around 100mph level flight (dependant on battery quality) and climbs strongly from a fast pass. Running around 500 watts this is one impressive jet and our best 3 cell setup. We recommend ELITE 2500mah 25c packs minimum or an equivalent size.

Our most powerful setup for users who want to run 3 cell packs!

 

HET6904 FAN WITH 3W TYPHOON MOTOR running on our new GP2200 4s1p 25c cells the 3W has blazing performance, capable of over 100mph level flight and climbs strongly from a fast pass. Running over 500 watts on our packs this is one impressive jet and our best overall performance package, can be run flat out for most of the flight, with an average amp draw around 36A this setup gives a good combination of flight time and power.

More advanced setup with superb performance, our No’ 1 choice!

 

HET6904 FAN UNIT WITH 2W20 TYPHOON MOTOR is a POWERHOUSE setup and gives awesome performance of 120+mph, more care is needed with batteries as this setup pulls 47-50A / 700+ watts, you cannot fly full throttle all the time unless you want to replace your battery packs regularly! LIGHTNING 60A esc is needed in this setup. With mixed flying of 50% WOT and 50% cruising you can get 5-6 minute flights and the batteries come out around 40 degrees as long as you do not discharge them past 80% of capacity. No guarantee on battery life if you fly this setup hard out all the time!

All out Extreme setup suitable for advanced flyers!

 

WEMOTEC MINIFAN PRO WITH 2W18 TYPHOON MOTOR is another POWERHOUSE setup and gives awesome performance of 130+mph, this setup pulls 800+ watts, you cannot fly full throttle all the time unless you want to replace your battery packs regularly!

The HET6904 fan and 3W Typhoon motor is our best performance setup with a good balance of speed vs flight time/amp draw. Running at 500-600 watts on our new GP2200 4s1p 25c+ packs, well over 1:1 power to weight and over 100mph performance!
