Control Throws / DR & Expo
There really aren’t any maximums on throws here... the Super Honey Hawk was designed for 3D fun.
Just make sure your ailerons are centred and even on both sides and that the throws of all
surfaces are as close to the same up as down.
Beyond that, whatever throws you can squeeze out
of it - GO FOR IT!
That said, you’ll probably want to dial it all back using Dual Rates & Expo to tame it down. Flight-wise,
you’ll find the Super Honey Hawk rolls like nobody’s business so for first flights you probably want to
tame ailerons down to 60% throw and ~ 25% expo, but use your own judgement.

* These are just suggestions. YOU are the best gauge of what settings to use based on your flying skill
and desired airplane response. For a ‘safe’ beginner pilot err on the side of too much expo and not
enough D/R - particularly on the ailerons. Oh, and fly on a calm day with little or no wind to do the trim
flights!! You experts out there.... dial it up and go nuts!
NOTE: The tail rotor mix IS affected by your Rudder Dual Rate and Expo settings! So you may
want to put / keep the rudder DR & Expo settings on their own switch. Basically on the above
low / starting rates the tail rotor acts more as an assist to the rudder and not the wild thing it
can be. For best tail swing you want rudder on full rates.
Mount Propellers
Now is a safe time to mount your propellers. Ensure that they are balanced well before use
–
especially important for the tail rotor!!
