Control ThrowsThe amount of control throw should be adjusted as closelyas possible using mechanical means, rather than makinglarge changes electronically at the radio. By movingthe position of the clevis at the control horn toward theoutermost hole, you will decrease the amount of controlthrow of the control surface. Moving it toward the controlsurface will increase the amount of throw. Moving thepushrod wire at the servo arm will have the oppositeeffect: Moving it closer to center will decrease throw,and away from center will increase throw. Work with acombination of the two to achieve the closest or exactcontrol throws listed.Rudder 1 1 / 4" (32mm) right 1 1 / 4" (32mm) leftNote: Rudder throw is measuredat the center of the rudder.Once the control throws have been set, slide the clevisretainers over each clevis to prevent them from openingduring flight.Aileron 1" (25mm) up 1" (25mm) downNote: Aileron throw is measured at theinboard trailing edge of the aileron.Elevator 1 1 / 8" (28mm) up 7/8" (22mm) downNote: Elevator throw is measured at theinboard trailing edge of the elevator.47
