Section 20: Control Throw Recommendations

The following control throws offer a good place to start with for
your first flights. If only one rate is available on your radio, set
up the control throws for low rate for the first flights, then
increase the throws to your liking.

Recommended Control Throws

Standard

Aileron

3/4" Up

5/8" Down

Elevator

1

1

/

8

" Up

1" Down

Rudder 2"

Left/Right

An important part of preparing the aircraft for flight is properly
balancing the model. This is especially important when various
engines are mounted.

Caution:

Do not inadvertently neglect this step!!

The recommended C.G. (center of gravity) location for the first
flights with the Clipped-Wing Taylorcraft is 4

1

/

4

" inches from the

leading edge of the wing.

If necessary, move the batter pack or add weight either to the tail
or nose until the correct balance is achieved. Stick-on weights
are available at your local hobby ship and work well for this
purpose.
