HSD Thunderbirds F-16 Fighting Falcon 105mm RC EDF Jet

A giant leap has been accomplished with the 105mm F-16 by HSD, a model worthy of being the best in its class. The inspiring performance out of the box will leave you looking for more after every single flight. With a high-performance power system and massive 105mm 12-blade EDF, an unrivaled turbine-like sound will echo through the skies. This model features a complete lighting package including many LEDs such as the nose taxi-light and after-burner simulation ring. Expert design and attention to detail make the assembly process easier than ever while also keeping the delicate balance between a full-scale appearance and high-performance. To make transportation and storage much easier, the wings are installed and secured with a set of screws. An all-metal landing gear system was also designed from the ground up to feature robust quality, reliability and scale retraction. With two power systems available such as the 29.6V (8S) and 44.4V (12S), you’ll be able to tear the skies with your weapon of choice.

This packaging option indicates what comes included and does not mean a completely assembled item. Most onboard electronic components are pre-assembled out of the box though some assembly is still required. This packaging option does not include the radio system, battery or charger, unless noted otherwise.

The main difference is what is included in the package. Since there are no set parameters for packaging options in this hobby, different manufacturers may vary their definitions of what is included.

KIT indicates that all the foam pieces along with the crucial components of aesthetic appearance are included in the package. Some on-board electronics may be included with a KIT such as the electric retracts and will be noted on the specifications of the model. Note that this packaging option is recommended for advanced individuals with knowledge in customizing their onboard electronic components or for those not intending to fly this model.

ARF indicates that all the foam pieces along with the crucial components of aesthetic appearance and electronic components are included with the exception of the battery, balance charger, and radio system (transmitter and receiver). Most on-board electronics are pre-installed by the manufacturer. Note that this packaging option is recommended for those who already own a radio system, battery and balance charger.

RTF includes all the foam pieces along with the crucial components of aesthetic appearance, electronic components, battery, balance charger and radio system unless noted otherwise. Most on-board electronics are pre-installed by the manufacturer. Note that this packaging option is recommended for beginners or first-time pilots.
