Introduction

• The F-16C “Fighting Falcon” is a single-engine multirole fighter aircraft originally developed for the United States Air Force (USAF). Designed as an air superiority day fighter, it evolved into a successful all-weather multirole aircraft. The F-16C features an internal M61 Vulcan cannon and multiple locations for mounting weapons and other mission equipment. Operating in nearly 30 countries to this day, the F-16 has distinguished its place in aviation history.

• Freewing has modeled this brilliant aircraft in EPO foam with a 70mm electric ducted fan (EDF) powerplant. With a 1306mm length and 878mm wingspan, this 1/12 scale flying replica includes many exciting features! An accurate scale outline with sharp surface details and panel lines make this model stand out at your airfield. Removable main wings and a magnetic nose cone make transport very convenient. The cockpit battery bay cover is secured with a sliding latch to prevent separation during flight, and the entire aircraft is reinforced with strategic placement of carbon tubes to withstand vigorous flying maneuvers.
  Our Freewing 70mm F-16C V2 model jet uses electric retractable landing gear for lower drag and better scale appearance during flight. The model is offered in three different powerplant options: 4s

• Standard, 6s Upgrade, and 6s Professional. These powerplants achieve a maximum flying speed of 125kph, 140kph, and 165kph, respectively. The aircraft is designed for stability, strong climbing performance, and short takeoff distance, suitable for all levels of jet pilots. The aircraft can also maintain a high alpha of 30 degrees to demonstrate its superior low speed stability.

• We feature this exciting aircraft in the modern three tone gray US Air Force base colors, and three decal sets are included for you to choose from to customize your model from various actual Air Force squadrons.

Center of Gravity
Correct center of gravity is directly related to the success of the flight, please refer to the following CG diagram to adjust your plane’s center of gravity.

• You can move the battery forward or backward to adjust the center of gravity.
• If you can not adjust the CG through move the battery, you can also use some other suitable material weight to counterweight, to make sure that CG is in the correct position.

Control direction test
After installed the plane, before flying, we need a fully charged battery and connect to the ESC, then use radio to test and check that every control surface work properly.

Dual Rates
According to our testing experience, according to the following parameters to set the aileron/elevator rate, it will be useful for flight. In low rate, its good for flight control and its suitable for the initial flight or less skilled players. According to your own circumstance, choose one rate in flight.

| Aileron| Elevator| Rudder
---|---|---|---
Low Rate| H1/H2 22mm/22mm D/R Rate: 65%| H1/H2 19mm/19mm D/R Rate: 80%| H1/H2 30mm/30mm D/R Rate: 85%
High Rate| H1/H2 34mm/34mm D/R Rate: 100%| H1/H2 23mm/23mm D/R Rate: 100%| H1/H2 35mm/35mm D/R Rate: 100%
