Overview
The E-flite® F-16 Thunderbirds 70mm EDF jet is a scale replica of the iconic aircraft flown by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds demonstration team. Like the full-scale airshow thriller, this F-16 has an incredibly wide 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 deliver an abundance of speed, thrust and a turbine-like sound. Factory-installed electric retracts with shock-absorbing struts make it possible to take off and land on a wider variety of surfaces-including grass-while keeping ground handling smooth and delivering a realistic jet experience. The composite reinforced EPO airframe is lightweight yet strong, and the digital, metal geared servos plus ball-link equipped pushrods provide precise control. And it all combines to deliver one of the easiest to fly, yet highest-performance and most capable, F-16 models ever!

->Exclusive Technologies
This is the first high-performance F-16 model equipped with exclusive Spektrum™ AS3X® and SAFE® Select technologies. AS3X works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects 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 along 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 deliver amazing vertical performance and an incredible speed range with virtually instantaneous throttle response. But what makes the experience truly rewarding is the fantastic sound produced by the power system-it's almost like a real turbine.
Capable Gear
The factory-installed landing gear features reliable electric retracts equipped with durable metal components and shock-absorbing struts that make it possible to fly from a wider variety of surfaces including paved runways and even grass.
Durable Precision
The composite reinforced EPO airframe is lightweight yet durable, and the factory-installed digital, metal-geared servos plus ball-link equipped linkages deliver crisp and precise control at every speed.
Unmatched Manoeuvreability
The F-16's unique design offers incredible handling through a wide 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 giant loops, point rolls and more, while also being capable of slowing down to deliver smooth and stable high-alpha flight and landings.
AR631 DSMX 6-Channel AS3X & SAFE Receiver
The Spektrum AR631 AS3X Telemetry Receiver is a DSM2 and DSMX capable receiver. Its compact footprint is designed to fit in a wide range of aircraft models including park flyers and larger sport models. The AR631 is a full range 6-channel receiver with built in AS3X and SAFE stabilization, which counters the effects of wind, turbulence and torque using 3-axis MEMS gyro and exclusive flight control software tuned by expert RC pilots. There is no delay in control response or limits on control throws. You'll simply feel like you're flying an expertly tuned model that does exactly what you want.
AR631 Forward Programming
You can configure the AR631 receiver wirelessly, directly from any compatible SpektrumT transmitter, through the Forward Programming menu. No separate computer or mobile device is needed for setup and adjustments.

Bind-N-Fly Completion Level Advantage
This Bind-N-Fly® Basic model is equipped with an AS3X® (Artificial 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 precision that makes you feel like you're flying a larger 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 airplane, you can enable the optional-use SAFE® Select technology built into the receiver. No programming is required. Simply change up the binding sequence as directed in the manual.
With SAFE Select features enabled, you get:
Pitch and Bank Angle Limits
- These envelope limits keep the airplane from rolling or pitching upside down. They also prevent excessive climb or dive angles.
Automatic Self-Leveling
- The airplane instantly returns 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 takeoffs and landings.
Easy Switch Assignment-No Programming Required
- The simple procedure for assigning a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select features on and off doesn't require any programming and takes just a few seconds.
If you don't want to enable the SAFE Select features, just bind the receiver normally and it will function like a standard AS3X receiver.

We want to ensure a smooth delivery experience for you, and here are some key details to keep in mind about our service.
- For orders exceeding £120, delivery is available exclusively to mainland UK addresses. However, orders below £120 can be delivered to outlying Isles and Northern Ireland, provided they meet specific criteria: they must be deliverable by Royal Mail, weigh less than 30kg, and fit within the dimensions of 61cm x 46cm x 46cm. Please be aware that certain highland areas may entail additional delivery fees, as couriers often charge more for these deliveries. If you reside in the highlands or any outlying regions, we recommend reaching out to us before placing your order to verify delivery options and any potential extra charges.
- Delivery is typically included in the price for the majority of our products, unless otherwise specified. However, please note that orders under £80 will incur an additional delivery charge. You can easily view this charge on the checkout page when finalising your purchase. We aim to maintain transparency in our pricing structure while providing you with the best possible service.
- Most orders will be delivered via either a next working day delivery service or within 2 working days, depending on your chosen service. Please note that for next working day delivery, the cut-off time is 12pm, and dispatch occurs exclusively on weekdays. However, certain items may have longer shipping times, and the expected delivery period will be clearly specified in the product listing.
- To streamline your order fulfillment process, please note that when your order includes items with varying shipping times, we follow this approach: If any item in your order has a longer shipping time, we will hold the entire order until all items are in stock. However, if certain items are expected to be restocked after a considerable delay, we offer you two options. You can choose to wait for complete fulfillment, where we'll dispatch the order once all items are back in stock. Alternatively, you have the option to receive a partial delivery, where we'll promptly send you the in-stock items and deliver the remaining items as they become available. Your satisfaction and convenience are paramount, and we strive to accommodate your preferences for multi-item orders.
- To ensure efficient delivery, we work with trusted carriers: DPD Local for next working day delivery and Royal Mail for the 2 working days option.
- After dispatching your goods, we'll promptly send you an email containing the parcel's tracking number. To ensure you stay updated conveniently, kindly provide a valid mobile number, which we will add to the consignment. This way, you can receive real-time updates on your mobile phone for added convenience.
- For listings specifying a shipping time of "Dispatched within 3 working days," please note that orders under this category will typically be delivered within a timeframe of 3 to 5 working days.
