Hi all,

It's been a while since I did any 'serious' model flying but I have dabbled a few times recently with a friend's Wot 4.

Anyway, I've just got my new Seagull Decathlon ARTF ready to go with an OS FS .70 but before I commit her to the air I have a question:

The instructions suggest two control surface throw settings; one for test flying (Elevator up/down 3/16", Aileron up/down 3/8" and rudder L/R 3/4") and one for advanced (Elevator up/down 3/8", Aileron up/down 7/8" and rudder L/R 1 1/4).

Am I reading this correctly? Using the low rate settings I have set 3/16" up/down for the elevator measured at it's trailing edge but frankly that's barely any movement at all... Am I understanding the instructions correctly? Do they really mean that the trailing edge of the elevator should only move three sixteenths of an inch either way?

I remember from my dark and distant past that all of my surfaces were set up to move far more than that... even my old Acro Wot elevator had a good inch or so!

I'd be very grateful if anyone could shed some light on this for me... you may just save me a bad experience!

Best wishes to all.

Luke
