E-flite F-15 Eagle ARF Assembly Manual
Control Throws
1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver of your F-15 Eagle.
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. Check the movement of the ailerons with the radio system.
Moving the aileron stick right will make the right aileron
move up and the left aileron move down.
4. Use a ruler 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.
Note
: Measurements are taken at the widest point on
the surface.
Ailerons
Low Rate: 1/2-inch (12mm) (Up/Down)
High Rate: 1-inch (25mm) (Up/Down)
Elevator
Low Rate: 3/4-inch (19mm) (Up/Down)
High Rate: 1-inch (25mm) (Up/Down)
Nose Wheel Steering
Low Rate: 10 degrees (left/right)
High Rate: 25 degrees (left/right)
These are general guidelines measured from our own flight tests.
You can experiment with higher rates to match your preferred
style of flying.
Once all the control throws have been set, make sure to slide
the clevis retainers over the clevises to prevent them from
opening accidentally.
Note
: The following image shows the movement of the
stabilator to the "up" position.
