ORIGINAL: scale only 4 me

Jimbo,
The servo arms are just 1", control horns were about 1.5" out, High rates were set at 140% with -75 expo, Low 90% and -60 (futaba) High rates gave me about 45 degree deflection, I never measured to see exactly what is was. Lets just say it was plenty.

Ailerons were the same arms/horn distance High 100% -70, low 60% -40 (but ATV was set 140% so I maxed out the travel that way)

Why they gave you those ginormous arms I don't know,, you'll have to reduce your end points so much?? . I didn't realize they were that big when you showed them being painted. I just don't see the point in using arms that big.

Also my Rudder was set up 2-5/8" arm, just under 3" horns, high 100% -50, low 65% -70.. Rudder ATV was set at max not to touch the Elevators.

Hope that helps,,
Thanks a bunch, that helps a lot...

I think the arms they gave me would be better suited for a 100cc airframeif not bigger, they probably just have a big box of them and send them with every kit.. I got the rudder working good, had to go to the closest hole to get clearance... Going to work on the throttle this morning, that should be pretty painless...
I am also putting in my graphic order, got a few things in mind to finish it off.. I am getting excited to see her all back together!
