7 E-flite F-16 ARF Assembly Manual
Be very careful to use only a small amount of
epoxy when attaching the servos. Using an
excessive amount of glue could cause some of
the excess to seep inside of the servo case and
could bind the servo, resulting in servo failure.
 6. Use your radio system to center the servos that
will be used for the elevators. Remove the stock
servo horns from the servos using a #00 Phillips
screwdriver and install the standard single-sided
servo arm on the servos as shown. Make sure to
prepare a right and left servo as shown.
 7. Test fit the elevator servo into the pocket on the
side of the fuselage. Note that the servo output will
face to the front of the aircraft. Remove the servo
and scuff the surface of the servo that contacts the
fuselage using sandpaper. Clear any residue left
from the sanding process using a paper towel and
rubbing alcohol. Mix a small amount of 6-minute
epoxy. Place a small amount of epoxy in the
servo pocket, then install the servo, pressing it into
the epoxy. This will keep the servo secure in the
fuselage during the operation of your model.
 8. Connect a 9-inch (228mm) servo extension to
the lead on the elevator servo. Tie a piece of string
or dental floss around the connection to prevent
the two from unplugging accidentally. Install an
extension for both elevator servos at this time.
 9. Connect a 3-inch (76mm) servo extension to
the lead on the aileron servo. Tie a piece of string
or dental floss around the connection to prevent
the two from unplugging accidentally. Install an
extension for both aileron servos at this time.
 10. Carefully lay the extension from the elevator
servos into the channel on each side of the
fuselage. The aileron extension will than be placed
on top of the elevator extension. Both extensions
are then inserted into the fuselage where the
channel turns to enter the fuselage.
