Control Throws

 1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver of your

model. Check the movement of the rudder using

the transmitter. When the stick is moved right,

the rudder should also move right. Reverse the

direction of the servo at the transmitter if necessary.

 2. Check the movement of the elevator with the

radio system. Moving the elevator stick toward

the bottom of the transmitter makes the airplane

elevator move up.

 3. Check the movement of the ailerons with the

radio system. Moving the aileron stick right makes

the right aileron move up and the left aileron move

down.

 4. Use a ruler to adjust the throw of the elevator,

ailerons and rudder. Adjust the position of

the pushrod at the control horn to achieve the

following measurements when moving the sticks to

their endpoints.

Elevator High Rate (100%)

Up 1-inch (25mm)

Down 1-inch (25mm)

Elevator Low Rate

Up 1/2-inch (13mm)

Down 1/2-inch (13mm)

Aileron High Rate (100%)

Up 5/8-inch (15mm)

Down 5/8-inch (15mm)

Aileron Low Rate

Up 3/8-inch (9mm)

Down 3/8-inch (9mm)

Rudder High Rate (100%)

Right 2-inch (50mm)

Left 2-inch (50mm)

Rudder Low Rate

Right 1

-inch (38mm)

Left 1

-inch (38mm)

Measurements are taken at the inner or

widest point on the control surface.

These are general guidelines measured from our own

flight tests. You can experiment with higher rates to

match your preferred style of flying.

Travel Adjust and Sub-Trims are not listed

and should be adjusted according to each

individual model and preference.

Preflight

Check Your Radio

Before going to the field, be sure your batteries are

fully charged per the instructions included with your

radio. Charge the transmitter and motor battery

for your airplane. Use the recommended charger

supplied with your particular radio system, following

the instructions provided with the radio. In most

cases, the radio should be charged the night before

going out flying.

Before each flying session, be sure to range check your

radio. See your radio manual for the recommended

range and instructions for your radio system. Each

radio manufacturer specifies different procedures for

their radio systems. Next, run the motor. With the

model securely anchored, check the range again.

The range test should not be significantly affected. If

it is, don’t attempt to fly! Have your radio equipment

checked out by the manufacturer.

Double-check that all controls (aileron, elevator, rudder

and throttle) move in the correct direction.

Check the radio installation and make sure all the

control surfaces are moving correctly (i.e., the correct

direction and with the recommended throws).

Check all the control horns, servo horns, and clevises

to make sure they are secure and in good condition.
