Control surface throws
I highly recommend that you purchase a throw meter that measures 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 Edge. These are a good starting point, but are by no means the only way to set up
the Extra. Start here and then adjust to fit your own preferences and style of flying.
Elevator: 8-10 degrees low rate, 18-20% exponential; all you can get high
rate, 60-65% exponential
Aileron: 20 degrees low rate, 30-40% exponential; all you can get high rate,
65-70% exponential
Rudder: 20 degrees low rate, 50% exponential; all you can get for high
rate, 80-90% exponential.
Again, this is just a starting point. Adjust to your liking.
Thanks again for your purchase of the Extreme Flight RC 50cc Edge 540T
ARF. I hope you enjoy assembling and flying yours as much as I have mine.
See you at the flying field!
