RE: need help setting up the throttle control rod
Since you are short on "throw" start with the pushrod connected to the far outside hole of the servo arm and whatever point you presently have it at on the engine arm. If this still isn't enough total throw you either need a longer servo arm or to move the throttle arm attachment closer to it's pivot point. This is actually the proceedure you will need to adapt for ALL of the controls surfaces as well.
