These are the recommended control surface throws:
ELEVATOR
LOW RATE
AILERONS
SPOILERONS
*Important:
High-rate elevator is used for landing only. Do not
hand-launch or switch to high rates until the power has been
cut and you are ready to land.

4. If you prefer, also program in some negative exponential
(less control throw around center stick). Exponentials are a
matter of personal taste and also related to your control throws
(which are also a matter of personal taste to an extent), but
we’ve found that approximately 40% and 30% expo works for
high and low-rate elevator respectively, while 35% and 25%
work well for high- and low-rate ailerons respectively.

5. Spoilerons (“up” aileron defl ection) assist on landing
by inducing drag to slow the model down. While spoilerons
aren’t absolutely necessary for landing (the fi rst half of our
testing regimen was conducted without spoilerons), spoilerons
defi nitely help on landing by shortening the glide. Spoilerons are
especially helpful during calm conditions where, without a head
wind, the Rifl e will just keep fl oating and fl oating by. In addition
to spoilerons, approximately 1/16" [1.5mm] of “up” elevator mix
to spoilerons is desirable. Upon deployment of spoilerons, the
Rifl e will initially balloon upward, but after it bleeds off enough
speed and nears the landing zone the “up” elevator mix will
partially dampen out your minute elevator corrections, helping
maintain a more even glide path. It is recommended to link your
spoilerons to an easily accessible, adjustable slider or dial so
you can modulate the precise degree of spoilerons depending
on the fl ying conditions and airspeed.
FINAL PREPARATIONS
Identify Your Model
No matter if you fl y at an AMA sanctioned R/C club site or
if you fl y somewhere on your own, you should always have
your name, address, telephone number and AMA number
on or inside your model. It is
required
at all AMA R/C club
fl ying sites and AMA sanctioned fl ying events. Fill out the
identifi cation label on the decal sheet and stick it on or inside
your model.
Propeller Balancing
You probably won’t fi nd anybody who will recommend you
not
balance your propellers. But realistically, fi nding a
balancer that can detect extremely
minute
differences in
the propeller blade weight of a prop that weighs fractions of
an ounce to begin with, and taking the time to painstakingly
balance a
consumable
propeller that may last only a single
fl ight anyway, seems futile. We’ve put hundreds of fl ights on
our Ammo motors with props straight out of the package.
Whenever running up the motor before you launch, listen
and feel for excess vibration. If the prop is out-of-balance,
either “re clock” it on the spinner shaft until you get it to run
smoothly, or discard the propeller altogether.
