Control Throws
 1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver of your aircraft.
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 ailerons using the
transmitter. When the stick is moved right, the right
aileron will move up and the left aileron will move
down. Reverse the direction of the servo at the transmitter
if necessary.
 3. Check the movement of the elevator with the radio
system. Moving the elevator stick down will make the
airplane elevator move up.
 4. Use a throw gauge to adjust the throw of the elevator,
ailerons and rudder. Adjust the position of the pushrod
at the control horn, or the travel/endpoint adjustments
of your computer transmitter, to achieve the following
measurements when moving the sticks to their endpoints.
Ailerons:
High/3D Rate: 2 1 /
2
in (63mm) up and down.
Low/Sport Rate; 1 in (26mm) up and down.
Elevator:
High/3D Rate: 3 1 /
2
in (89mm) up and down.
Low/Sport Rate: 1 1 /
4
in (32mm) up and down.
Rudder:
High/3D Rate: 3 1 /
2
in (89mm) left and right.
Low/Sport Rate: 1 1 /
2
in (38mm) left and right.
Center of Gravity
An important part of preparing the aircraft for flight is properly
balancing the model.
Caution: Do not inadvertently skip this step!
The recommended Center of Gravity (CG) location is
4 3 /
4
" (120mm) for Precision to 5 1 /
8
" (130mm) for 3D behind
the leading edge of the wing against the fuse.
