Rudders
Measure from the center line (A) of the sub-fi n to the rear lower tip of a rudder
(B) to calculate the distance from the center of travel for the rudders.
Vectored-Thrust (VT) Unit
Remove the motor hatch and look at the VT unit when adjusting mixes or travel
for the AUX1 channel in your transmitter. Start with 100% Aux 1 servo travel,
but a low % value in your programmable mixing (for example, 80%). With the
mix on and the rudder set to high rate, move the rudder stick to one of the
extreme positions. While holding the rudder at that position, increase the mix
% until you see the VT unit reach its limit. Move the rudder stick to the other
extreme and increase the mix % until you see the VT unit reach its limit. This
sets maximum throw in both directions. Adjust servo travel so that you do not
make the servo turn more than the VT unit can move in the fuselage.
CAUTION: Never exceed the maximum servo travel values listed in the
manual. Doing so could cause servo failure or battery drain and a crash,
resulting in damage to property and injury.
Elevons
Before making measurements, mark a horizontal line from the center of the
screw (C) in the vertical fi n to the bevel between the vertical fi n and the rudder.
1
Up Elevon:
Measure from the line (C) marked at the bevel between the vertical fi n and the
rudder to an imaginary line (D) even with the inside corner at the top of the
elevon.
2
Down Elevon:
Measure from the line (C) marked at the bevel between the vertical fi n and the
rudder to an imaginary line (E) even with the inside corner on the bottom of the
elevon.
The elevons function as elevators; both sides must travel equally up and down.
If they do not, the plane will not track straight in loops or corners.
