I have the 90mm Super Scale as well and this one is a very close second. It is a good flying and very detailed model.

I had the Arctic Camo version of this, it was very difficult to orient in flight, especially against cloud cover. I tried doing some high Alpha flight ...... first and last time for that jet! I replaced it with the gray version, seems easier to maintain orientation, transferred the in runner power and premium gear from the former which was the plus version. This plane flies great, you do need to hold substantial back pressure in the turns and make sure you are right on with approach speed. Good approach = good landing. I am flying with the missile package. If you’re looking for a good first jet, try the Avanti, of the 5 motion jets I have it is the most relaxing to fly, it just grooves! But this F16-C is a performer!

Well, bought it to replace my version 1. Wish this one had thrust vectoring! Over all the build was way great. Everything fit very well. Its gteat that they have spar's in the wings and elevator's. Only issue i have had is i bought this as a ARF without motor and edf, and i used my older 12 blade aluminum edf and inrunner motor with the same kv as the PNP version is sold with and 100 amp esc running 6s 4000mah and i dont have enought thrust to even take off. So i have ordered the factory motor and edf and i will see if that is the problem.

I really like this plane in particular, because it is one of he few 70mm jets that can be hand launched. It flies very well, and is extremely stable even at high rates. My only criticism would be the fact that this plane could use an air brake to slow it down on landing. I fly this with a JP hobby EDF and 6S 4000mah pack, and at times it takes quite a bit of room and runway to bleed off airspeed. Also, I wish there was an option to buy the plane as a kit, without the landing gear and electronics. I literally threw the gear in the trash, because none of my local flying fields have runways, or grass that is short enough to make runway takeoffs a possibility with this plane.
