Do not change location of CG unless you are experience and have some feel of
model before! 250mm—280mm from leading edge.
I have flown F16's in various setups. It is very predictable model to fly. If you do not like
to use flaperons and elevons, you can simply set it up with convention elevator and ai-
lerons. The F16 have 1 huge control surface on the wing. So be careful with too much
travel as the model will be over sensitive! The setup describe above is the best for this
model for good response and very slow controllable landings.
Elevons: Tail surface setup for elevator and ailerons function also called tailerons.
Flaperons: Wing control surface set up for both flaps and ailerons.
Set the maximum speed to 200mph! The prototype was tested with K210 turbine.
