Set the Control Throws
1.
Hold a ruler against the widest part of the
elevator surface and measure the 3D rate throw
first.
2.
Adjust the location of the pushrod on the servo
arm or on the control horn first. Then, use the
endpoint adjustment in your transmitter to fine
tune the elevator throws.
3.
Measure and set the low and high rate throws
using the rates switch on the transmitter.
4.
Next, measure and set the 3D, high, and low rate
throws for the rest of the control surfaces the
same way.
If your radio does not have a rate switch, we recommend
setting the throws at the high rate settings.
IMPORTANT:
With the propeller removed and the
control throws set, set and check the
fail-safe
on
the transmitter.
Check the fail-safe by switching off the transmitter
with the motor battery connected to the ESC and the
motor running at a slow speed. The motor must stop
running when the transmitter is switched off.
Once you have determined that it is operating correctly,
switch off the receiver or unplug the motor battery
and then switch off the transmitter.
