1/5 F16 3.06m (120.5″)

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.

Wingspan:83.3″ (2,115mm)
Length:120.5″ (3.060mm)

Split fuselage for easy transport

The entire fuselage can be split, strategically placed between turbine and thrust tube, allowing for the entire fuselage to come apart with just five screws and two connectors for easy transport to and from the field.

Front nose cone can also be removed by unscrewing the pitot tube
