Default RE: Funtana control throws

ORIGINAL: Goldwing-RCU

When I dialed in the 50% I quickely discovered I was still way out of the low end rates so I moved the clevis on the control horns and dialed it down a bit more. I currently fly a Pizzaz (Really like it) and although I do not really get into hovering I just love to loop & roll and just have fun.

So, NOW I'm at 7/8" on the Aileron, 1" on elevator, and 2-1/8" on the rudder. (Left the C/G alone) Up the expo to -50 so the I dont get the full throw until I'm way over.

My weight came out a bit heaver then I thought but I think it will be fine. (I'm at 5# 11oz)

Thanks Again,

Sheldon
That all sounds perfect. BTW, my weight came in at 5 lbs, 12.5 ounces but that was with firewall and landing gear reinforcing. So your weight is very typical. What engine?
