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. Turn on the transmitter and receiver of your aircraft.
Check the movement of the ailerons using the transmitter.
When the stick is moved right, the right aileron will move
up and the left aileron will move down. Reverse the
direction of the servo at the transmitter if necessary.
3. Check the movement of the elevator with the radio
system. Moving the elevator stick down will make the
airplane elevator move up.
4. Use a ruler or 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.
Measurements are taken at the widest point on the surface.

These are general guidelines measured from our own flight tests.
You can experiment with higher rates to match your preferred
style of flying.
Range Testing the Radio
1. Be sure to range check your radio before each
flying session. This is accomplished by turning on your
transmitter with the antenna collapsed. Turn on the
receiver in your airplane. With your airplane on the
ground and the engine running, you should be able to
walk 30 paces (approximately 100 feet) away from your
airplane and still have complete control of all functions.
If not, don’t attempt to fly! Have your radio equipment
checked out by the manufacturer.
2. Double-check that all controls (aileron, elevator, rudder
and throttle) move in the correct direction.
3. Be sure that your transmitter batteries are
fully charged, per the instructions included
with your radio.
