Check the Control Throws
The control throws are limited by the travel of the servos and
the mechanical set up of the pushrods. You can change the
control throw using the end-points or ATV feature of your
radio, or you can change the mechanical linkage to increase
or decrease the amount of control movement in relation to
the amount of servo movement. Keep in mind that changing
the throws mechanically is preferred to changing them using
your radio’s end-point adjustment. End points should be
used to “fi ne-tune” to get the proper throws.
Hold a ruler up to the control surface while it is at zero throw
(neutral). Move the transmitter stick to the limit and measure
the amount of linear control throw. If your radio does not have
dual rates, we recommend setting the throws at the HIGH
rate setting. NOTE: The throws are measured at the widest
part of the elevators, rudder and ailerons.
If the control throws are too high, you can move the pushrod
connectors on the servo arms inward (toward the output
shaft) to decrease total travel.
These are the recommended control surface throws:

Now that you have the throws set, be sure to set the
failsafe on the radio!
Install the Propeller & Spinner
IMPORTANT!
Unplug the motor battery!
❏
1. Remove the prop nut and prop washer from the prop
adapter. Slide the prop adapter onto the motor shaft as shown.
❏
2. Fit the spinner backplate to the prop adapter. Fit the
propeller, prop washer, and prop nut. Position the propeller
so that the trailing edge of each blade touches the alignment
pin. Tighten the prop nut.
❏
3. Install the spinner using the two screws included in the
spinner parts bag.
