From the Field -- E-flite F-16 Falcon 80mm EDF First Flights | The RC Geek

I had the new E-flite F-16 Falcon 80mm EDF arrive in the shop last week and got 8 flights on the model this past Saturday. :) This video is the end result of the outing which features a mini review of the model and featuring clean and full stores flights (full review coming soon!). Conditions were a bit bumpy, but the airplane handled it quite well. All in all, I'm quite impressed with this model as it looks and flies excellently! The performance is great, the model maneuvers well but also flies quite efficiently at partial throttle for extended flight times. I flew 5000 mah, 6250mah, and 7000mah packs in it and they all worked great in the model with zero issues with CG. The 5000 is kind of the party pack for vertical performance, but I tended to gravitate towards the 7000 mostly for longer flight times and it also being a touch quicker. Oh, and with the weapons, there's a bit of a loss on top end speed, but otherwise the model performance was similar.
