1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver of your
P-47D Thunderbolt. 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 aileron with the radio
system. Moving the aileron stick to the right will
make the left aileron go down and the right
aileron go up.
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.
Ailerons:
1/2" (13mm) Up/Down
Elevator:
3/8" (10mm) Up/Down
Rudder:
3/8" (10mm) Right/Left
These are general guidelines measured from our own flight
tests. You can experiment with lower or higher rates to match
your preferred style of flying.
