Default RE: Raven 40 ARF Control Throws

Alucard ... oh man ... that plane! I loved mine till I gave it away. So many here told me its lousy and it will snap on you on take off or on approach or executing a loop. It did not, not that she will not at all. She is nice to fly with a mere 46 2C, a real nippy plane. Make sure you use the wing fences ok! For your maiden make her slightly NOSE HEAVY, very slightly.

I can't find the manual anymore but try this, it is in the safe zone for the maiden:

Aileron - 1/2" max
Ele - 3/4" max
Rud - 1.25"

She will not float in on landing, so carry some speed, some not that it needs to be very hot, if not she will snap on you. As for the elevator, do not yank it hard, she will snap on you. I wish I had another.
