Great Planes CAP 232 1.60 ARF - GPMA1410 - Manual (Page 28)

❏
1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver and center the trims.
If necessary, remove the servo arms from the servos and
reposition them so they are centered. Reinstall the screws that
hold on the servo arms.
❏
2. With the transmitter and receiver still on, check all the
control surfaces to see if they are centered. If necessary, adjust
the clevises on the pushrods to center the control surfaces.
❏
3. Make certain that the control surfaces and the carburetor
respond in the correct direction as shown in the diagram. If any
of the controls respond in the wrong direction, use the servo
reversing in the transmitter to reverse the servos connected to
those controls. Be certain the control surfaces have remained
centered. Adjust if necessary.
Due to the size of the control surfaces on the Great Planes
CAP 232, use of a Great Planes AccuThrow is not possible
for measuring throws. A ruler should be used to accurately
measure and set the control throw of each control surface as
indicated in the chart that follows.
NOTE: The throws are measured at the widest part of the
elevators, rudder and ailerons.
IMPORTANT: The Great Planes CAP 232 ARF has been
extensively flown and tested to arrive at the throws at
which it flies best. Flying your model at these throws will
provide you with the greatest chance for successful first
flights. If, after you have become accustomed to the way the
Great Planes CAP 232 ARF flies, you would like to change
the throws to suit your taste, that is fine. However, too much
control throw could make the model difficult to control, so
remember, “More is not always better.”
Note: In order to achieve the full 3D rates noted in the
chart above, you will need to purchase longer servo arms
for the aileron and elevator servos. A total of four long
servo arms will be needed. We recommend using the
Great Planes Aluminum servo arms listed below:
• Large-scale 1" [25 mm] single-sided servo arm
(GPMM1100)
• Large-scale 1.5" [38 mm] single-sided servo arm
(GPMM1105)
3D RATES:
ELEVATOR: 4" [102 mm] up
4" [102 mm] down
AILERONS: 3" [76 mm] up
3" [76 mm] down
RUDDER: 6" [153 mm] right
6" [153 mm] left
These are the recommended control surface throws:
High Rate Low Rate
ELEVATOR: 2-1/2" [64 mm] up 1-1/2" [38 mm] up
2-1/2" [64 mm] down 1-1/2" [38 mm] down
AILERONS: 1-1/2" [38 mm] up 1" [25 mm] up
1-1/2" [38 mm] down 1" [25 mm] down
RUDDER: 4-1/2" [114 mm] right 3" [76 mm] right
