Default senior telemaster throws

I am building from plans a plane that is very similar in dimensions to the senior telemaster. I dont have any thing to go on as far as control throws. The plane I am building has ailerons and flaps.

Just for comparison what are the sizes of the control surfaces (rons, flaps, rudder, elevator) on the telemaster and what are the recommended throws?

As much throw as you can get on high rate, then 60% of that for low rate.

Hi Gringo Flyer

I would strongly recommend that you rig up the aileron travel so that the up travel on the ailerons excedes the down travel by a factor of 2 to 1. This is called differential.

There are two ways in which this may be done by adjusting the control throws with the programming of a computerised transmitter or by positioning the out put arm of the servo at 45 degrees to neutral position rather than the more usual 90 degrees. Imagine a clock face instead of having the output arm pointing at the "3," position it so that it is between half-way between the "1" and the "2." This is easier to do than explain but it will give you some differential.

You may also find that mixing in 50% rudder with the aileron will help in the turns, or you may apply rudder and aileron simultaneously in the turns of course.
