Balancing:
Assemble the airplane ready to fly (minus fuel.) For the initial
flights balance the aircraft on the wing tube. Mark the locations at
the wing tip and have a friend help you lift the aircraft by the wing
tips at this location. The aircraft should balance level or slightly
nose down. After initial flights the C.G. can be adjusted to
accommodate your flying style.
Control Surface Throws:
Place the airplane on a flat table. Make sure all control surfaces are
centered at neutral. Measure the control throws using a degree
meter. Set the amount of Exponential (Expo) on all control
surfaces for both low and high rates. Remember that Futaba radios
use a negative number on Expo, and JR/Specktrum radios use a
positive number. Adjust the amount of expo and control surface
throws to your personal preference. These are the settings that we
use.
ELEVATOR:
Low Rate: 20 degrees each direction – 20% Expo
High Rate: 45 degrees each direction – 40% Expo
