E-flite F-16 ARF Assembly Manual
2. Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade, or a razor
saw with a fine tooth blade, to cut through the glue
joint on the front and rear seam lines of the hatch.
3. Using a hobby knife and #11 blade, cut down the
side seams of the hatch at approximately a 45-degree
angle to the horizontal line of the fuselage.
4. Once you are sure that you have cut through
the hatch joints all the way around the hatch, use a
small amount of force to rock the hatch in a rolling
motion side to side. A small amount of movement
should break loose the last glue joint on the top of
the fan unit and remove the hatch/fan assembly.
Note
: When gluing the hatch back in position
make sure that the motor wires are routed in
the slot on the top of the fuselage. If they are
not in this slot the hatch will not seat properly.
Radio Programming
The programming listed is showing the base radio set
up for the Spektrum DX6i radio. This programming will
allow you to use the gear channel (channel #5) for the
second elevator servo. This will eliminate the need for
any servo reversers or Y-harnesses. It will also show
you how to use a P-MIX to turn off the gear channel
switch when using this channel for a control surface. If
you choose not to use a computer radio for your F-16,
you will be required to use a Y-harness for the ailerons
(EFLRYH3) and a servo reversing Y-harness (EXRA320)
for the elevators.
Travel Adjust, Sub Trim and Dual Rates are
not listed and should be adjusted according
to each individual model and preference.
Note
: The programming listed is using the
electronics that we have recommended. Using
other types of equipment may require changes
to the set up.
