E-flite F-16 ARF Assembly Manual
1. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver and two 2mm x
8mm self-tapping screws to attach the landing gear
door to the fuselage. The two holes for the screws
have small holes so they can be located on the
bottom of the fuselage. Note the direction of the
gear door as shown with the narrow end of the
door facing the front of the aircraft.
2. Repeat Step 1 to install the remaining gear door
on the bottom of the fuselage.
3. Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to remove
the decal from the bottom of the fuselage to expose
the slot for the main landing gear.
4. Insert the main landing gear into the slot in the
bottom of the fuselage. You will need to flex the
gear inward slightly to get it to fit into the slot.
5. Lift the canopy hatch from the top of the
fuselage. The hatch is held in position using four
small magnets and will take a light amount of force
to remove.
6. Locate a long 3D servo arm and use side cutters
to remove one of the arms from the horn as shown.
