Setting.the.control.throws.for.your.CAP.232G.does.require.
some.attention.to.detail..To.correctly.set.the.throws,.it.
is.highly.suggested.to.use.the.following.procedure.to.
achieve.the.greatest.mechanical.advantage.from.your.
servos..This.will.help.in.preventing.stripped.servo.gears.
and.reduce.the.potential.for.in-flight.flutter.
.
Step 1
Determine.the.maximum.amount.of.control.surface.throw.
from.the.throws.listed..Use.the.3D.throws.to.set.the.
maximum.amount.of.throw,.then.use.your.computer.radio.
for.the.lower.rate.listed.
.
Step 2
Set.the.Travel.Adjust.(ATV.on.Futaba.TX).to.about.15%.
under.the.max..(On.a.JR.transmitter.that.is.135%)..Make.
sure.to.set.both.directions.during.this.process.
.
Step 3
Adjust.the.position.of.the.clevis.on.the.control.horn..
and.position.of.the.ball.link.on.the.servo.arm.to.achieve.
the.throw.decided.in.Step.1..It.is.highly.recommended..
not.to.change.the.position.on.the.servo.arm.unless.
absolutely.necessary..Use.Travel.Adjust.(ATV).to.finalize.
the.throws..That.is.why.we.left.a.little.margin.in.the.
percentages.back.in.Step.2.
.
Step 4
If.setting.a.dual.elevator.or.aileron,.match.the.linkage.
locations.used.back.in.Step.3..Increase.or.decrease.the.
Travel.Adjust.(ATV).a.few.points.as.necessary.to.fine-tune.
the.throws.to.match.up.left.and.right.sides.and.up.and.
down.throws.so.all.is.symmetrical.
This.is.all.necessary.to.tune.the.mechanical.advantage.as.
good.as.possible..When.setting.up.a.model.for.3D,.the.
mechanical.advantage.will.be.less.because.of.the.large.
throws,.and.thus.the.servo.will.work.harder.and.wear.
faster..Using.an.insufficient.servo.for.the.job,.or.trying.
to.get.too.much.throw,.will.cause.something.to.give,.
probably.the.servo.
There.isn’t.an.exact.geometry.to.the.linkage,.as.it.depends.
on.how.much.throw.each.individual.modeler.requires..
The.linkage.geometry.should.always.be.maximized.so.the.
servo.isn’t.working.any.harder.than.it.has.to.
