#1. 600 mah should be fine if you aren't using power hungry servos. As with any plane check the battery before every flight with a loaded meter.
#2 take a picture and post it here
#3 see #2
#4 Yellow aircraft or the for sale section here on RCU
#5 Wildcat ducted fann fuel 5% or 10%

"#2 how can i identify my fan unit in my f16? "

I would guess the fan unit is a Dynamax since that is what the Yellow aircraft jets seem to be designed around. Count the rotor blades. If there are 11 blades, it is definitely a Dynamax. If there are 9 blades, then it is likely to be a Ramtec fan. It is not likely that it is a BVM fan. The BVM rotor has 7 blades.
