o 3 . Make certain that the control surfaces and the
carburetor / motor 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 .
Set the Control Throws
Use a Great Planes AccuThrow, a ruler, or an inclinometer
to accurately measure and set the control throw of each
control surface as indicated in the chart that follows . While
more control throw is possible and may seem necessary,
this model reacts well to very little throw . For this particular
airplane, we recommend using the high rate rudder only on
the ground when taxiing . Switch to low rate rudder before
initiating your takeoff roll .
NOTE: The throws are measured at the widest part of the
elevators, rudder and ailerons .
These are the recommended control surface throws:
