3. Make certain that the control surfaces respond in
the correct direction as shown in the diagram. If any of
the controls respond in the wrong direction, use the servo
reversing in the transmitter to reverse the servos connected
to those controls. Be certain the control surfaces have
remained centered. Adjust if necessary.
SET THE CONTROL THROWS
Use a Great Planes AccuThrow (or a ruler) to accurately
measure and set the control throw of each control surface
as indicated in the chart that follows. If your radio does not
have dual rates, we recommend setting the throws at the
low rate setting.
NOTE: The throws are measured at the widest part of the
elevator and rudder. If you are using a ruler to set your control
surface throws, the defl ection distance is measured as the
height from the center trailing edge of the control surface
when moved from the neutral position as shown in the sketch.
Defl ection in degrees is also provided for an alternative
measuring method.
These are the recommended control surface throws:

IMPORTANT: The Gentle Lady ARF has been
extensively fl own and tested to arrive at the throws at
which it fl ies best. Flying your model at these throws
will provide you with the greatest chance for successful
fi rst fl ights. If, after you have become accustomed to the
way the Gentle Lady fl ies, you would like to change the
throws to suit your taste, that is fi ne. However, too much
control throw could make the model diffi cult to control,
so remember, “more is not always better.”
