Overview

Pilot-RC is very pleased to announce the production of what is one of aviations most epic aircraft ever, the General Dynamics F16 Fighting Falcon.

Pilot-RC wanted this one to go above and beyond as a beautiful scale model. Pilot-RC found ways to make it reliable and tough enough to actually be flown on a regular basis, and not a problem to transport or put together, all in a package that fly's brilliantly well.
