 2. Apply a small piece of hook and loop tape to
the bottom of the speed control.
Note: Work through Step 3 before removing
the backing from the hook and loop tape.
Installation of the speed control can be tricky,
and the stickiness of the hook and loop tape
will make the installation even trickier. Keeping
the backing on until ready will allow you to
practice the installation of the speed control
before your final performance.
 3. Install the speed control back in the fuselage as
indicated on the photos. You will need to guide the
motor wires into the fuselage while installing the
speed control. The speed control must be positioned
at least 2 1 /
8
-inches (54mm) behind the edge of the
canopy opening or the motor battery will not fit
into the fuselage.

Be sure to refer to your motor and ESC manuals
as to the correct setup of the power system. You
may need to change the PWM switching frequency
and or the timing according to your setup.
Note: Before plugging in the servos, it
is suggested to read through the Radio
Programming section of this manual
beginning on Page 27. This section will guide
you through setting up the necessary mixing
required to operate the servos installed in
your F-16. This mixing reduces the amount
of complexity and extensions required,
keeping the weight at its lowest for the best
performance from your model.
 4. Use a 3-inch (76mm) servo extension on the
speed control to connect it to the receiver. Plug the
extensions from the ailerons and elevators into the
proper ports of the receiver. Also plug the lead
from the steering servo into the rudder port on the
receiver as well.
