Top RC Model F-16 Thunderbird 97" – Scale Turbine RC Jet

The Top RC Model F-16 Thunderbird 97" is a large-scale composite turbine RC jet built for pilots who want true scale presence and high-performance flight. At nearly 8 feet in length, this F-16 is a real show stopper both in the air and on the ground.

Finished in a stunning high-gloss Thunderbird scheme, this model delivers the look of a full-scale airshow jet with the flight characteristics needed for confident turbine flying.
