on the control horn fi rst. Then, use the endpoint adjustment
in your transmitter to fi ne tune the throws.

3. Measure and set the low rate throws. Measure and

set the high and low rate throws for the rest of the control
surfaces the same way.

If your radio does not have dual rates, we recommend setting
the throws at the high rate settings.

FLAPS

Mix in approximately 5/16" [8mm]
down elevator with the flap.
This will reduce ballooning when
flaps are applied.

4. Once the throws are set, apply a drop of threadlocker

to the threads and tighten the 4-40 nuts against the clevises.
Slide the silicone retainers over the clevises.

IMPORTANT: Now that you have the throws set, be sure
to set the failsafe on the radio.

2. Install the propeller. Drill holes through the propeller if

necessary.

NOTE: Enlarge the hole in the spinner backplate to 25/64”
[10mm] for the adapter ring used on the O.S. GT33 engine.
