Default RE: Stingray Elevon throw

Hey matt,

Yup, set the elevons to 3/16" up first. Then set the elevator travel to their spec (adding 1/4" in each direction in my case). Then independently set the aileron travel using the same 3/16" reflex up as the center point (reducing it to 60% of spec in my case). I haven't experimented with much in the way of inverted flight so you will likely need to increase the downward elevator throw to combat the reflex needed in regular flight.

This is just a start point that I've used so far. You'll find that the ailerons on their own don't really extend too far in down, and rather far up in comparison on the opposite wing due to the reflex. I haven't put a lot of thought into it so there's probably some room to play around and make it roll closer to on center. It might take a little less up travel and more down but you'll probably find that out before I do... I'm going to start adjusting the throws some more when the weather gets better next spring. For now its just another a hanger queen...[]
