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.

Be sure to set the speed control to the

correct timing for this type of motor. The

timing should be set for 2-pole motors.

Note: Before plugging in the servos, 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 from your

model.

4. Plug the extensions from the ailerons and

elevators into the proper ports of the receiver.

Also plug the lead from the steering servo and

speed control into their proper ports on the

receiver as well.

5. Use a small piece of hook and loop tape to

mount the receiver in the fuselage as shown. The

edge of the receiver should be flush with the edge

of the cockpit opening as seen in the following

step.
