Finishing Touches 

Static Wicks 

Static wicks can be added to enhance the scale appearance of your F-16. Use the supplied 
20” Black plastic coated cable. The same procedure can be used to create static wicks for the 
stabilizers, wings, and rudder. 

 

  Open the pre-drilled holes using a 0.070” 

drill. Use a pin vice to control the drill bit. 
1/4”-3/8” of insertion is required. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Insert the black plastic coated cable until it 

bottoms. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Measure .84” from the edge of the control 

surface. Mark the cable at this location.
