I have seen the Yellow F16 ARF finished in a USAF grey camo scheme... like the rest of their ARF's likely hard to get hold of as they seem to be only made available in limited low volume production runs.... The detail and finish of Yellow ARF's is truly as good as you will find for any ARF in fact more like a professionally finished model than any ARF's that I have seen, and Iam fussy too. I have one of their F-18 ARF's myself its very impressive
Get in touch with Shaun Evans (Yellow rep) and he will be able fill you in on details and as to availability...

hope this helps

Cheers-

Are you sure that the plane in the picture is a Yellow F-16?

The one in the ad you posted the link to is a BVM F-16.

Yeah, if it is using the gear and a BVM fan that would be my guess too. I think its funny that the guy selling it doesnt even know the manufacturer.

I pretty sure the F-16 hanging up is a Yellow Aircraft F-16 and not a BVM F-16. The BVM F-16's don't have flaps.

Hi,

With respect, the F-16 in the picture is not a Yellow. What you are describing as flaps are actually flaperons, which both planes have. The tell-tale is the landing gear. Those gear are not Yellow. I can't say for sure, but they definitely look like BVM gear. The Yellow nose-gear is scale. The BVM one is not--it's just a Durostrut. If the plane in the pic is well-built, it's a steal at that price.

Both BVM and YA have flaperons.

$2300 is not that great of a deal. I've bought similar for a lot less RTF, both YA and BVM.
Offer him $1500 tops.

After all, it is a Dcuted Fan and it is a buyers market.

Oh, I just saw a BVM F-16 and didn't realize that you could set them up for flaperons. My bad.
