 8. Use two 2mm x 12mm self-tapping screws and
a #1 Phillips screwdriver to secure the stabilizer
to the fuselage. Use care not to over-tighten the
screws and cause damage to the fuselage or
stabilizer.
 9. Repeat Steps 6 through 8 to attach the
remaining stabilizer to the fuselage.
Note: The stabilizer tips will be lower than the
center of the stabilizer at the fuselage when the
fuselage is upright. This is scale for the F-16
and is correct.

 1. Use a hobby knife to trim the decal on the
bottom of the wing to expose the pocket for the
aileron servo. Prepare both the right and left wing
at this time.
You can use compressed air to blow
away the remains of the decal.
Note: Before preparing the aileron and
elevator servos for installation, it is suggested
to read through the Radio Programming
section of this manual beginning on Page
18. 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 for your model.
