Boomerang F-16 Ace In The Hole
Boomerang F-16
The F-16 is a very well known fighter Jet and we are bringing to the Market probably the best flying of all the model F-16’s out there. Our F-16 is light, and strong, flying on anything from an 80N turbine all the way up to a 190N turbine!
The F-16 is offered as a Plug N Play (PNP) outfitted with our TORQ servos pre installed and all the extensions installed and run to the nose for you to install your Gyro and Receiver of choice as well as your turbine and can be flying in no time at all!
The F-16 features a full lighting system, Nav Lights, Landing light, and Strobes, also fully functioning gear doors and large hatches to making working inside easy. The latches are all hidden keeping the lines of the F-16 true to scale. The wings are held on with a simple yet proven clamping style set up with two clamps per wing, one front and one back. The elevators are full flying just like the full scale and have a very unique trident style mounting to ensure they can not slip on the pin.

Customer Reviews
I have abut a dozen flights on this amazing F-16 now and I am truly thrilled with this purchase. Dan quickly answered all my questions and shipping was fast! Assembly was quick and easy with an excellent manual. I love the quality of servos and how much thought went into the design. For example the servos for the wings are mounted in the fuselage and the correct wing will only seat when installing, ensuring its setup right every time and bonus no quick connect to install or tuck away!
The plane itself flies amazing, it’s a light weight F-16, if that makes sense. It flies and lands more like a sport jet. I really overpowered it with Kingtecg G5 K142, and I think a 100-130 sized turbine would be great here. But having the extra power is sweet with unlimited vertices! With just batteries up(4000mah 3s for turbine and 2 5000mah for servosand gear) front she balanced without any lead.
I directly compared this to a similar priced PNP 1:8 scale F-16 from another mfg and this is larger, lighter, better finish and flies way better is easier to land and is overall a superior F-16!
The Ace in the hole is an amazing color scheme, it looks awesome and is well done but the blue fuselage blue can easily disappear on you, but fortunately you have yellow wings that stick out for visibility! The other colors schemes made it a thought decision on which to get.
I do have 2 small complaints. First, the nose is held on by the screw in nose pitot tube which is common for F-16s and not the complaint, but the nose structure is super weak. I barely brushed it while it was in the bag and it snapped off. Reinforce this area with CF or plywood and Hysol or you will do the same and hopefully future production will correct this weakness. Second are the central fins. They are made of thin plastic and are held in with a single screw that is impossible to get to without taking out the pipe. So you just have to leave them on, which is fine , but the the thing n plastic here is the issue. When flying they make a weird vibration noise. These need an upgrade in both mounting and material.
I have included a YouTube video of my first 3 flights and some pictures. One includes a 1.8M Viper jet for size comparison.
Over all, an excellent purchase and I would highly recommend you buy one!
