Setup and Flying
Throws:
Low rates Middle rates High rates
Ailerons 25° 32° 38°
Elevators 15° 45° 55°
Rudder 15 As desired All you can get
A digital throw meter is highly recommended for accurate setup of control surface throws.
The above throws are what we used in the videos, exponential is as follows:
Low 25-30% Middle 35-40% High 45-50%
Keep in mind these are starting points, your personal preference/experience should be
considered in final setup.
As with the CG range stated above, it is a starting point and much time/patience should be
taken to achieve proper throws and CG to your flying style. It can be the most time
consuming process, but once your plane is properly dialed in you will agree it was time well
spent. One of the most practical ways to check the CG on an aircraft this size is to insert the
carbon fiber wing tube into its sleeve in the fuselage and tie a length of rope around the tube
on each side of the fuselage, forming a loop that you can pick the aircraft up with. Slide the
wings into position, install the canopy and pick up the plane with the rope. The Laser should
balance in a horizontal position. Move your batteries and radio equipment to achieve this
condition. This will give you a safe starting place for the first flights. One of the best ways to
fine tune the CG for your aircraft is the 45 degree line test. Fly the aircraft in front of you
from left to right (or right to left if you prefer) at full throttle. Pull the aircraft into a 45 degree
up line and establish this line. Roll the aircraft inverted, neutralize the elevator and pay close
attention to what the plane does. Ideally the plane will continue on this line for several
hundred feet before it starts to slowly level off. If the airplane immediately drops the nose and
dives toward the ground it is nose heavy. If it begins to climb inverted toward the gear it is tail
heavy. There is no need to have the Laser excessively tail heavy to perform 3D maneuvers.
