A Nice looking Model all the same RJ,

Probably a nice easy way into R/C models too as it is electric...yes I have no doubt this one will be fast but not as quick as the I/C Engined versions....If you have flown any models before then you should manage on this one,
I will go along with the buyer though and say it is definitely NOT a first timers model...for someone who has a bit of flying experience under their belt this will be a nice little machine.....and for us scale modellers, sorting out the rest of the details would be no problem.
I have seen some of these fly and they are fantastic...!!

Regards.......Mark.

It looks ok RJ,but as Bluewave says not a beginners model by any means,fast and furious.
There are some excellent electric foamie jet flyers out there which would take a bit of bouncing,but if you take the flying model route then get a trainer first,best raw beginners route is a powered glider type that you can steer around the sky.
I bet that you would need to hurl that F-16 like a missile to get it airborne !
Do not be afraid of R/C it offers a lot of fun,it is something that you need to lead into gradually,but these days the pain has been taken away in a lot of ways for beginners.
If the price remains low,then why not buy it anyway ? ou could always hang it up.

saw some great RTF stuff at hop farm this past weekend, you cant knock the japs doing everything in a box for £65..... and they fly so well too !
