The full-size F-16, developed with experience gained from the Vietnam War,
ranks among the best of all U.S. military combat aircraft for range, acceleration, and
maneuverability. A mid-1980s design,it was only recently surpassed in these areas by
a few new fighter planes.
Ultrafly’s F-16 captures the spirit of the famous original fighter. Our challenge
was to keep the scale look and, at the same time, provide outstanding maneuvering
capabilities. To meet that design goal, ten different prototypes were cut and built!
No wonder you’ll find that this is the best jet model in the Ultrafly line — as well
as one of the best-performing, most scale-looking foam jet models available anywhere.
Its scale wingspan contributes to a fast roll rate. And, compared to our previous BAE
Hawk jet model, the F-16’s unique wing and fuselage increase lift by 40-50%.It is
therefore much easier to launch the model, including by hand (but you’ll still want to
be careful of the back-mounted pusher prop when you hand-launch the F-16…read
the “Important Note before you take the first flight!” information on page 12).
Ultrafly offers two versions of our F-16. The “Basic” version comes with an
Ultrafly Falcon 400 motor and 2.38:1 gearbox. Using a 12V, 1100mAh NiMH battery,
the APC 7x5E propeller turns at 9000+ rpm—with enough power to let the F-16
perform a 70-feet-high circle/loop.
In the “Advanced” version, we replace the Falcon 400 motor with an Ultrafly
D/13/32 brushless motor. Using a 3S (1500mAh) LiPo battery, this F-16 will scream
clear out of sight! Imagine the excitement of flying an unlimited vertical jet model. Be
sure to consult with an expert, of course, before using a Li-Po battery…they require
special know-how for safe and proper use.
Again, thank you for your purchase...and have a wonderful flying season!
