Control surface throws 

I  highly  recommend  that  you  purchase  a  throw  meter  that  measure  in 
degrees.  There  are  several  units  available  commercially.  These  units  are  a 
great  aid  in  set-up  and  definitely  beat  the  “that  looks  about  right”  method. 
For  any  type  of  precision  flying,  surfaces  that  travel  equal  distances  are  a 
must.  The  following  control  surface  travels  are  what  I  use  on  my  own  Slick. 
These are a  good starting  point, but are  by  no  means  the only way  to  set  up 
the aircraft. Start here and then adjust to fit your own preferences and style 
of flying. 
 

Elevator:

 8-10 degrees low rate, 20% exponential; all you can get high rate, 

60-65% exponential 
 

Aileron:

 20 degrees low rate, 30-40% exponential; 38-45 degrees high rate, 

65-70% exponential 
 

Rudder

:

 20 degrees low rate, 50% exponential; all you can get for high rate, 

80-90% exponential. 
This  completes  the  assembly  of  the  Slick  580  EXP.  As  a  final  step  clean  the 
entire aircraft with glass cleaner, then apply a coat of spray-on wax and buff 
the finish to a high gloss with a microfiber cloth. My favorite product for this 
is Eagle One Wet Wax AS-U-DRY, available in the automotive section of most 
Wal-Marts, K-marts, Sears, Targets, etc. People often ask  me at trade shows 
how I get the planes to look so shiny, this is my secret. You may wish to apply 
all of your graphics before applying the coat of wax. 
 
Thanks  again  for  your  purchase  of  the  Extreme  Flight  RC  120cc  Slick  580 
EXP. I hope you enjoy assembling and flying yours as much as I have mine. 
 
See you at the flying field! 
Chris Hinson
