Airfield F-16 (70mm)

This is the Airfield F-15 from www.nitroplanes.com. It was my first ducted fan jet, and long story short, it is a great first jet.

It comes in the box very well packaged in ziplock bags. Assembly is very easy, taking about an hour and a half to build. It is made out of EPO foam, so it is very durable and light. It comes with everything you need to assemble it. My only complaint about the parts is that the nosecone is very very thin and light, so i filled it with non expanding foam, let it dry, dug it out, and put newspaper in it. It strengthened it up and added only a half gram of weight.

In flight, this plane is beautiful. I bought the plug-n-play version so I could use my Turnigy 9x, and it flies just great. It pops off the ground in about 20 feet, and gets some good speed. It looks absolutely stellar in the air, along with the signature ducted fan sound. It is pretty acrobatic, and is able to do loops, rolls, and other basic manuvers. It also has very good glide and stall performances, especially for a jet. It slows down well too, making landings pretty easy, but you still need some space.

All in all, this jet is awesome. From the great handling to badass looks, it just performs. I highly recommend this jet to anyone interested in jets, who have flown high wing trainers and are proficient in flying.
