3. Move the left stick to the right and observe the rudder.
Moving the stick to the right should make the rudder (and
the nose wheel) move to the right. If necessary, use the
reversing switches on the transmitter to make the rudder
respond in the correct direction.
The next procedure is to make sure the controls move the
correct amount. The control throws are a measure of how far
the flight controls (ailerons, elevator and rudder) move. If the
controls move too much, the plane will respond too quickly
and be difficult to control. If the controls do not move
enough, it may not be possible to recover from adverse
situations or to level out for landing. Due to the great effect
the control throws have on the way a model flies, the control
throws must be checked.
Control Throws Chart
The throttle is to be set up so that when the throttle stick is
all the way down, and the throttle trim lever is all the way up,
the carburetor will be nearly, but not fully closed and the
engine will idle at a low RPM. This will keep the engine
running when the throttle stick is pulled all the way down
(toward you) for landing. When it is time to shut the engine
off after landing, move the trim lever down to close the
carburetor the rest of the way.
Here’s how to set up the carburetor…
❏
1. With the transmitter and receiver on, move the throttle
trim lever and the throttle stick all the way down.
❏
2. Observe the opening in the carburetor. If the carburetor is
fully closed, proceed to step 3. If the carburetor is nearly, but
not fully closed, loosen the screw on the screw-lock connector
on the throttle servo arm and move the pushrod back until the
carburetor is closed. Securely tighten the screw.

3. Move the throttle trim lever all the way up, but leave the
throttle stick all the way down. Now the carburetor should be
partially open (about 1/32" to 1/16" [1 to 1.5mm]).
