Introduction

Catalog
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. These powerplants achieve a maximum flying speed
of 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.
Before connect the battery and receiver, please

According to our testing experience, use the following parameters to set Aileron/Elevator Rate. Program your
preferred Exponential % in your radio transmitter. We recommend using High Rate for the first flight, and switching to
Low Rate if you desire a lower sensitivity. On successive flights, adjust the Rates and Expo to suit your preference.
