TBM 91" zero control throws???
 

Can anyone tell me what is the recommended control throws for the TBM Zero. I down loaded the manual and it doesn't state the amount of throws. Believe it or not the ARF didn't come with the manual. Thanks

TBM 91" Zero manual located here:
http://www.troybuiltmodels.com/newsi...BM_91_Zero.pdf

Per pg 19:
"We prefer about 70 degrees of flaps and 25 degrees of ailerons."

under the "stabs" section (I assume horizontal stabilizer)
"3/4” of throw up and down."

Page 14 "rudder":
"Try to obtain as much rudder throw as possible."

Hope that helps

Yes it does thanks... I did down load the manual from that same site. Ok how can I convert the amount of degrees into inches or MM. I'm still learning a lot about this sort of stuff thanks

My control throw setter shows 25 deg is 1 inch exactly. It only goes to 50 deg, but my manual for my GS TF P-47 calls for 60 deg of flap which is 2 3/8". That would make 70deg a smidgen under 3".

What is the cord of the Flap on the TBM 91" Zero?
Thanks

Hi Manny,
Say that your Flap cord is 3.4" wide.
At 25 degrees the distance from the TE of the Flap to the TE of the Wing would be 1.47"
At 45 degrees the distance from the TE of the Flap to the TE of the Wing would be 2.54".
If it is 70 degrees the distance from the TE of the Flap to the TE of the Wing would be 3.85".
Hope this of help.

Your right it's a pain in the A.. thanks for helping me out. I'm more used to the manual giving this info. in mm or inches. It threw me for loop when it came to degrees. Thanks again.

Keep in mind that the example I gave made the assumption the cord was 3.4.
The cord of the Flap of the TBM Zero will most likely be different.
What is the cord (width) of the TBM Zero's Flap?

Man right now I can't answer that question I'm in Afghanistan. Can't wait to get home to mess with the zero some more.[:@]
