The F-16 "Fighting Falcon" is an American single-engine supersonic multirole fighter aircraft originally developed by General Dynamics (now Lockheed Martin) as part of the U.S. military's "Lightweight Fighter" program. Initially designed as an air superiority fighter, it was intended to complement the U.S. Air Force'sprimary fighter, the F-15, and establish a high-low mix of capabilities.After entering service, with several upgrades, it evolved into a multi-role fighter, categorized as a fourth-generation fighter aircraft.
The experience of FMS in making 64mm ducted fan aircraft dates back to ten years ago or even earlier. At that time, R&D engineers and professional pilots dedicated a significant amount of testing time to create 64mm F15, 64mm F16, 64mm F18, and 64mm F35 models, all of which dazzled in the skies at flying fields around the world. Fast forward to 2018, FMS responded to the desires of players and carried out a comprehensive upgrade for all 64mm ducted fan aircraft, from materials to structure. The 64mm ductedfan aircraft V2 became a phenomenal product in the field of small-sized ducted fan aircraft for beginners for a long time. Fast forward to 2023, FMS has embarked on a new journey, starting with 3D drawings and introducing an all-new 64mm F-16 with larger dimensions, sleeker contours, and more precise detailing,paying homage to this iconic and renowned multi-role fighter aircraft.
The newly molded 64mm F16 not only boasts larger dimensions, sleeker contours, and more precise detailing but also brings a substantial improvement in realism. The front landing gear components are CNC machined with plastic bracket, delivering a high level of realism and excellent shock absorption. The rear landing gear is made with plastic-wrapped steel wire, enhancing realism without compromising strength. Navigation lights have been added to the wings, tail, and air intake to enhance the ambiance during flight. They are meticulously designed to follow the real aircraft lighting effect, providing a more authentic appearance in low light conditions. In addition to the existing aileron, nose wheel steering, and elevator controls, rudder control has also been added, significantly improving the aircraft's maneuverability and enabling the faithful replication of most fighter jet maneuvers. The fuselage, wings, horizontal tail, and vertical tail all feature embedded reinforcement tubes to prevent bending or deformation during aggressive flight maneuvers.
The battlefield gray paint scheme and the Thunderbirds airshow paint scheme are available options. The battlefield gray paint scheme comes equipped with realistic fuel tanks and missiles and includes five sets of different stickers for players to choose from based on their individual preferences.
The F-16 comes equipped from the factory with a 64mm 11-blade ducted fan, a 2840-KV3150 motor, and a 40A ESC. It features 6x9g digital servos that accurately execute commands from the receiver, delivering excellent high-speed and low-speed stable flight performance to assist beginner ducted fan model aircraft players.
