F-16 Fighting Falcon

F-16 at Kentucky Hangar

This is a 1/6 Scale F-16C Model from Feibao.

Length:95"
Wingspan:65"
Power:26 to 36lbs

This F-16 is one amazing flying A/C. The plane weighs bout 45 dry, its a bit more heavier than new models, this is due to my F-16 is the Prototype.

This A/C has functional Canopy open and closes, Navigation lights, landing lights, scale retracts, Slats and Flaps, and Speed Brakes.

This A/C has one amazing flying characteristic specially on High Alpha Flying. My Dad Miguel Alvarez has done an enormous amount of detailing to the Aircraft to make it more scale. The Pilots Head even swivels left to right and has night green lights for instruments.

We are using 14 channels flying with Futaba FASST, powered with an awesome 45 lbs of Thrust from an AMT 450.

The scheme we have is after the "Makos Squadron " in Homestead, FL. Our F-16 Fighting Falcon has won "Critics choice award" in FL International Jets 2008 and "Peoples Choice" at 2nd Makos Annual Jet Show Event and "Top Gun" in Jets Over Kentucky.

I'm very Honored by this awards and my dad makes it a HUGE difference in scaling even more.

Congratuations!
by: Matt

Thanks for sharing Marvin!

That's definitely a bird to be proud of! Congratulations to you and your dad for such an awesome model.

I kinda suck at video taping, especially jets going this fast! But I did manage to get one of your flights on video, although You-Tube seems to have killed the resolution, lol. At least the take-off and landing turned out OK. Take a look...

I was surprised you guys were even flying. The wind was HOWLING straight across the runway!

Was this one of the flights you were judged on to win Top Gun?
