Default RE: Question on throws


ORIGINAL: corch

I would think it would be easier to adjust that in the radio. (the travel distance, that is) Remounting servos seems like a PITA. recenter servo arms, adjust control rod linkage and length to center the control surfaces seem easier to me. Perhaps a rod got bent. Starting from ''scratch'' by remounting the servo and linkages would be a last resort in my opinion. But as a disclaimer, this is my first season in this hobby, I could be completely wrong

As far as throws I went 1/2 inch each way on ailerons and elevators, 1 inch each way on rudder. 17% expo on elevator and ailerons and 25%on rudder. During the sportsman sequence I did not ''max out'' the surfaces at any time. Not even during the intermediate sequence either.

I did re-center the servo arm/wheel and adjusted the control rods...That's were they are not the same after adjusting..More threads show on one side than the other. Yes, I know, that is super anal but I want it puuurrrrfect I did notice one servo screw was just catching the edge of the wood block..Not sure I like that.

I'll try to post pics latter if I can find the darn camera
