Default Build a Miss Ashley - Revisited

These are the approximate throws required on each control surface based upon a model balanced at 3 3/4" to 3 7/8" back from the front of the wing saddle:
  • Elevator low rate = 7/64" up and less down Elevator high rate = 1/8" to 3/16" up and more down
  • Rudder low rate = 3/16" each way Rudder high rate = 5/16" each way
  • Aileron low rate = 1/8" each way Aileron high rate = 3/16" each way
It is OK to start with a little more elevator during the first couple trim flights.

Take off using the low rate settings. During take-off apply full right rudder, full up elevator, and a small amount of right aileron.
