Control Throws
1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver of your aircraft.
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. Use a throw gauge 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.
