Default Throttle on O.S. FS-70 II Surpass

I have a question about the throttle on the above engine. I have the 7 CAP radio, using the above engine in Sig Something Extra. The problem I am having is when I am at half throttle on the radio the carb on the engine is wide open. I am using a Futaba 3004 for a servo and using a "T" servo horn. What do I need to do? Should I replace the servo horn for a circle one? I need help!!!

Thanks,

IT sounds like a setup problem. When the trim is centered, and the stick is in the middle of its throw, the servo arm should be straight across the airplan (90 degrees to the long axis of the model). Advance the stick to full and set the endpoint. Do the same for idle.

You don't want the servo to bind at full throttle or idle. That draws extra energy from the battery pack.
