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.
