7. Slide the wheel onto the landing gear. Use foam-safe

CA to glue the wheel pant/retainer to the landing gear.

Use care not to get CA where it will inhibit the operation

of the wheel.

Control Throws

1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver of your Divo. 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.

Note: Measurements are taken at the widest point on

the surface.
