F-16 FALCON
360-Degree Thrust Vector ARF, Red/White/Blue AFR



360 degree thrust vectoring for wild flight performance
F-16 360 Degree Thrust Vectoring R/C JetThe addition of the 360-degree thrust vectoring to the F-16 airframe brings a totally new level of excitement with aerobatic maneuvers that are almost unlimited. Flat spins, tumbles and high alpha flight-all are easy to perform; the fully vectored thrust nozzle and functional rudder make it possible. The F-16 is officially licensed by Lockheed Martin and comes with a 70mm fan and Outrunner brushless motor (2750Kv), 45 Amp ESC with switch mode BEC, 4-cell 2200mAh Lipo battery and comes pre-painted.

Glue the wings and tails in place and install your 7-channel radio and you are ready to perform the impossible. Flight performance is excellent with a broad speed range and precise control. Without the 360 thrust vectoring the model is a high speed conventional jet; the addition of the 360 thrust vectoring unleashes a completely new and nearly unlimited range of flight possibilities.

The battery and the speed control are pre-connected with genuine Deans Ultra connectors. The landing gear is fixed with nose wheel steering. Photo-illustrated instructions include step-by-step setup of the various mixes on a Spektrum Dx-7 radio. Recommended control throws, CG and expo settings are provided. Controls are: Aileron (2 servos), Elevator (2 servos), 360 Thrust Vectoring (2 servos), Nosewheel steering and Rudder (1 servo).

Comments from Jim Ranney:

Batteries Plus will make up receiver and transmitter battery packs to
fit your needs. I paid $31.50 for a 5 cell 2700 Ni-MH RX battery
including the sales tax. This is comparable to Hobby People's prices.
Take the old battery with you or take the battery connector you need.

Overview

Hangar 9’s P-51 Mustang 60 ARF is a remarkably accurate rendition of America’s favorite fighter airplane. This 60-sized almost-ready-to-fly airplane was designed and crafted to be the most realistic sport-scale ARF on the market. It is constructed of lightweight balsa and plywood, and the entire airframe is fully sheeted to maintain the model’s strict scale appearance and strong flight performance. Scale airfoils were used to maintain the exact scale outline of the P-51’s tail surfaces, and the control surfaces feature scale hinge lines as well. Even the location of the tail wheel matches that of the full-scale P-51. The functioning flaps facilitate scale takeoffs and landings while the internally mounted flap and elevator linkages preserve the scale outline. The P-51 Mustang features a plug-in, two-piece wing and plug-in airfoiled stab/elevator sections for easier assembly and disassembly.

For the ultimate, realistic flight experience, the P-51 comes with all-metal mechanical spring-loaded strut assemblies. These retracts are easy to use—no previous retract experience is necessary.

The P-51 comes out of the box with all kinds of details that have been finished for the consumer, including a factory-painted fiberglass cowl, removable scale antenna, scale-shaped spinner, scale tires and hubs, scale guns, and much more. For a high-quality outer surface and realistic appearance, the P-51 is dressed with a printed, scale-like flat finish UltraCote® covering.

The P-51 Mustang 60 can be powered for performance using a variety of 2- or 4-stroke glow engines or a small 20cc gasser like the Saito FG-20; it is perfectly powered by an Evolution® .61NX engine. Or, the P-51 can be converted to electric power straight from the box—no modifications or conversions are necessary. Hangar 9 has thought of just about everything to make set up convenient, including a removable, easy-access belly hatch and large top hatch for battery packs or radio equipment. Because all of the mounting hardware is included, consumers can exercise the electric option to quickly and easily mount their favorite E-flite motor to this airframe for charge and fly excitement right from the start.

Want to know more about the wood props you run or what is available? Here is a nice index I share:

XOAR "The Sword" - Made with a model grade German Beech core , propeller comes in three corrosion resistant Metallic Pigment Coated outfits - Silver, Black and White.

XOAR Laminated - This propeller is very strong and durable. These propellers are made up of 1mm plywood sheets, and coated in a polyurethane varnish.

XOAR (Z'OAR) Propellers are rapidly becoming the most popular propeller choice with 3D and IMAC flyers. XOAR offers greater thrust with lower noise. Made from beautiful imported French beechwood, each prop is digitally machined for correct pitch and blade cross-section, then hand worked by experienced technicians to assure the best aerodynamic performance. Every XOAR propeller offers excellent static and dynamic balance through controlled symmetry, weight, angle, diameter and width which minimizes active vibration. Each propeller is pre-treated and finished with a hard satin finish.


Bambula Props - These high quality power propellers are made in Europe from the highest quality Northern European Beech. A wood that is known for its tight grain and stability under load. The wide chord gives maximum pulling power and great down line braking.

BME Laminated - The New BME Laminated Props aren't just beautiful to look at, but offer a tremendous performance edge so you get the most out of your aircraft/engine combo. Every aspect of your project contributes to its performance, so when choosing a prop... Choose the BME Aircraft Laminated Prop. We have added the new 3D props to our product line. These high performance 3D props have a progressive pitch, allowing faster spool up, and quicker throttle response during the critical 3D maneuvers. The 3Da props are equivalent to an 8 pitch, the 3Db props are equivalent to a 10 pitch.


Bolly Wood - Bolly Wood Propellers are precision CNC machined, from quality French Beech, hand finished to an industry best balance and finished in a beautiful clear lacquer. Wood props are lightweight and economical.


MSC PROPS - are designed, and drawn using the latest CAD software. They are then machined from kiln dried, select Hard Rock Maple, to exacting tolerances on CNC controlled machinery.

Menz Wood These propeller are produced with high precision machines especially developed for these purposes and made out of hand-selected German beechwood. The production process was developed by company founder Horst Menz and is constantly improved. The results are high-quality propellers in various sizes with profiles and shapes which are developed in theory and improved during practical use.


3W Wood Props - Precision CNC Machined From Steamed European Beechwood. Shape Similar to Menz Standard Props


Vess Props - These unique shaped props are offered in 3 different pitch settings.


Master Airscrew - Wood Props are made of Lightweight,Kiln-Dried Beechwood. Props with Larger Diameters Greater than 16 inches, are Made from Heavier Maple.


Top Flite - Power Point Beechwood Propeller from Top Flite.Excellent for Any Type of Application, from Training and Sport Flying to Serious Competition


Zinger - Made of hard rock maple wood. Clear coated natural wood finish. Larger props made of heavier maple.

Zinger Pro - Designed for the advanced competitive flier looking for the ultimate in performance and dependability. Made of hard rock maple wood. Clear coated natural wood finish. Classic pointed tips.


ZDZ Props - These props have gone through extensive wind tunnel testing at a leading Aerodymanic Engineering University in the Czech Republic . Made from hand selected Northern European beech wood. Factory balanced with a beautiful satin finish clear coat.


NON-WOOD APC Props - The long fiber composite material is both stiffer and stronger than glass filled nylon. The additional stiffness is beneficial to control of vibration resonance response. A favorite non-wood prop in smaller sizes.

For months, our Club Secretary, Jim Ranney has been measuring static thrust for many different type airplanes and engines at the field..and finally we present here. This charts is 2 pages and is sorted by THRUST! ELEVATION IS 1750FT






p.s. This chart represents actual thrust readings measured with a setup with a pulley system and a fish scale. These are only to be used for comparisions to readings within this same system and not from other setups/thrust reading from another source.
