Status: offline 		Hi Don,

I purchased a used SU-31 with a glow 75 54" wing span that weighs about 6 pounds. I've been flying all electric 3D planes and helis and this is my first glow plane. I have not got it in the air yet as I am changing a few things in the linkage that I don't like. My question is: Is it ok to increase the throw to 35%? It sure doesn't look like the original owner had more ant 20% as they would bind up.

Thanks,

Robby

Some 3D trim tips at th link below will help you.

I'm not real sure why low rates. I have them programed in to my electric planes but never use them, they don't seem any different to me when doing fast low level passes. I once made the mistake of doing a 3D manuver forgeting that I was on low rates, so I just learned to never use them.
