3. Make certain that the control surfaces and the throttle
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
To ensure a successful fi rst fl ight, set up your Sport Fighter
Mustang according to the control throws specifi ed in this
manual. The throws have been determined through actual
fl ight testing and accurate record-keeping allowing the
model to perform in the manner in which it was intended.
If, after you have become accustomed to the way the Sport
Fighter Mustang 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 too responsive and diffi cult to
control, so remember, “more is not always better.”
❏
1. Use a box or something similar to prop up the bottom of
the fuselage so the horizontal stabilizer and wing will be level.
Measure the high rate elevator throw fi rst…
❏
2. Hold a ruler vertically on your workbench against the
widest part (front to back) of the trailing edge of the elevator.
Note the measurement on the ruler.
❏
3. Move the elevator up with your transmitter and move
the ruler forward so it will remain contacting the trailing edge.
The distance the elevator moves up from center is the “up”
elevator throw. Measure the down elevator throw the same way.
These are the recommended control surface throws:
NOTE: The throws are measured at the widest part of the
elevators, rudder and ailerons.
