Default RE: Best throw meter


ORIGINAL: JustErik

What the heck's a throw meter? Just kidding, of course, but seriously,I just set high rates at "all I can get" and low rates at about half that. I then dial in a generous amount of expo on BOTH rates just to be on the safe side. After the first flight, I start tweaking until I get it where I want it. I suppose if I REALLY wanted to measure the throw, I'd use a ruler or a protractor, as necessary.

Just my (somewhat primitive) thoughts.....

LOL. That is EXACTLY what I just did in setting up a Goldberg Hot Stik. All I could get on high & the low rates 50% of that.

Gotta love digital trims, D/R and end points.
