Starmax F16 64mm Grey RC Jet Vectored PNP Version

. The F16 fighter jet is one of the great jets, it was the first fighter jet to make use of a relaxed static stability/fly-by-wire flight control system. With a wingspan of 800MM and a powerful brushless motor this model can achieve incredible speeds - upto, and even beyond, 90mph. This replica from Starmax lives up to the name. It can be launched from either the ground or from the hand. Thrust vectoring is the ability of an aircraft to direct the thrust from its engine(s) in a direction other than parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal axis. The F-16 also has a feature called thrust vectoring. The technique was originally employed to provide upward vertical thrust as a means to give aircraft vertical (VTOL) or short (STOL) takeoff and landing ability. One of the RC channels on this jet allows you to change the direction in which the EDF fan pushes the thrust, meaning that this is one of the most agile EDF jets that money can buy. Soon, it was realized that using vectored thrust in combat situations enabled aircraft to perform manoeuvres not available to conventional-engined planes. It also possesses an ESC (Electronic Speed Controller), ducted fan with electric brushless motor and 7 electric servos all pre-installed. The ducted fan system with the brushless motors gives enormous power pushing the jet to crazy speeds. A 4ch transmitter which is required to complete the model gives full 3D control of the aileron, elevator, rudder, throttle, and the vectored thrust.
