Pilot-RC 1/5 F-16 Flight
Overview
Pilot-RC is very pleased to announce the production of what is one of aviations most epic aircraft ever, the General Dynamics F16 Fighting Falcon.
We wanted this one to go above and beyond as a beautiful scale model. We found ways to make it reliable and tough enough to actually be flown on a regular basis, and not a problem to transport or put together, all in a package that fly’s brilliantly well.
Features
Full composite construction, lightweight and strong
Two piece wing and two piece full flying stabiliser, both fully removeable
Two piece wing and two piece full flying stabiliser, all for easy transport
Easily detachable rudder for easy transport
Two piece fuselage, with the split strategically placed to allow daily removal of tail section for easy transport to and from the flying field
Easily detachable ventral fins, held in place with just two screws
Painted outside the mold so no seam lines
