The airframe is constructed with full composite \"Sandwich Technology\" bringing the lightest aircraft ever introduced at this price point. The main structural parts have more scale detail than most other composite planes in this size class. The small-scale parts included in the kit really set it apart from the rest of the pack. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis scale F-16 is large, at 97\" in length this RC jet is a real show stopper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA composite reproduction of the famous Thunderbird Scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe fully painted high gloss finish on this scale jet really stands out from the crowd.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for Turbine Power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA quick build ARF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautiful scale details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for both grass \u0026amp; pavement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/gator-rc.com\/toprcmodel-f-16-electric-retract-set\"\u003eRetracts sold seperate\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"paragraph\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e Available Color Schemes\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThunderbird Scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArctic Camouflage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDanish Air Force E-191\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurbine (14-20 kg \/ 30 - 44 lbs) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"paragraph\"\u003eAn excellent choice in turbine power is the SWIWIN SW series.\u003cbr\u003eSWIWIN SW140B (14 kg - 30.8 lbs. thrust)\u003cbr\u003eSWIWIN SW160B (16 kg - 35.0 lbs. thrust)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"paragraph\"\u003eSWIWIN Turbines are available on special order (call or email us for details)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRadio\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 channels (plus) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9-11 servos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e(2) Ailerons\u003cbr\u003e(2) Elevators\u003cbr\u003e(2) Flaps\u003cbr\u003e(1) Rudder\u003cbr\u003e(1) Nose steering\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWingspan: 65 in (1630 mm) \u003cbr\u003eLength: 97.60 in (2480 mm) \u003cbr\u003eWeight: 36 lbs (16.5 kg)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e95% pre-assembled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull composite construction (no iron on covering)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery scale surface with details and full rivets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug-in wing system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLive hinging with precision gap sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-applied decals with clear coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed scale cockpit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable hatch for easy access to the engine compartment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete hardware package with fiberglass control horns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunctional scale flaps for smoother landings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe two-piece composite wing  makes transporting this plane easier than most\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale main gear doors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTail tube Turbine exhaust tailpipe included \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComposite fuel tanks included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/gator-rc.com\/toprcmodel-f-16-electric-retract-set\"\u003eRetracts sold separate\u003c\/a\u003e: heavy-duty electric retracts sets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a large parcel that requires freight shipping.  $350 flat rate for shipping the F16 (CONUS only).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"TopRcModel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46988979994846,"sku":"TRCMF16DAF","price":2829.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/1436\/6686\/files\/b6693004dd286376825e80febf02c3a.jpg?v=1749086308"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.gator-rc.com\/collections\/f-16-top-rc-model.oembed","provider":"Gator RC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
