The model may be considered as now being
essentially ready for flight, the vital adjustments
having been performed. If you are a beginner you
ought to be content with these adjustments and
collect practical experience by now flying your model.
Although it would not do any harm to try the other
examples, you should keep in mind that the latter are
“deluxe” options with the aid of which problems
encountered when flying certain models can be
solved. Flying certain manoeuvres can be made
easier and/or advantages can be gained over other
contestants in competition flying due to the simplified
operation of the transmitter.
Bearing this in mind:
II. Further Examples
Let’s return to the last example in the preceding
chapter. The full-span elevator of the tailplane when
deflected upwards blocks the rudder mounted above
it.
This had been avoided by reducing the upward servo
throw correspondingly, also allowing for the possible
upward trim movement. The reaction to elevator will
be smoother now the down-elevator for the reduced
throw is evenly distributed over the entire control
throw range from neutral to hard over up. The
different control reaction to “up” and “down” may be
acceptable in some cases, but might not necessarily
be so. The PROFI-ULTRASOFT-Module offers
another option for such cases, namely throw
reduction.
