Radio Programming
The programming listed is showing the base radio set
up for the Spektrum DX6i radio. This programming will
allow you to use the gear channel (channel #5) for the
second elevator servo. This will eliminate the need for
any servo reversers or Y-harnesses. It will also show
you how to use a P-MIX to turn off the gear channel
switch when using this channel for a control surface. If
you choose not to use a computer radio for your F-16,
you will be required to use a Y-harness for the ailerons
(EFLRYH3) and a servo reversing Y-harness (EXRA320)
for the elevators.
Travel Adjust, Sub Trim and Dual Rates are
not listed and should be adjusted according
to each individual model and preference.
Note: The programming listed is using the
electronics that we have recommended. Using
other types of equipment may require changes
to the set up.

Control Throws
 1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver of your
F-16. Check the movement of the rudder using
the transmitter. When the stick is moved right,
the rudder should also move right. Reverse the
direction of the servo at the transmitter if necessary.
 2. Check the movement of the elevator with the
radio system. Moving the elevator stick down will
make the airplane elevator move up.
 3. Check the movement of the ailerons with the
radio system. Moving the aileron stick right will
make the right aileron move up and the left aileron
move down.
 4. Use a ruler to adjust the throw of the elevator,
ailerons and rudder. Adjust the position of the
pushrod at the control horn to achieve the following
measurements when moving the sticks to their
endpoints.
The sport power setup usually results in a
forward CG location. The use of high rate
elevator throw is recommended for this setup.
