Control Throws
1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver of your
F-16. 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 down will
make the airplane elevator move up.
3. Check the movement of the ailerons with the
radio system. Moving the aileron stick right will
make 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.
