As soon as my exhaust header comes in I'll be in the air - can't wait! I do have questions about the control throws on the plane. Does anybody have the suggested throws? If not, do I set it up like a modern pattern plane w/ ~11 degrees throw on the elevator and 13-15 degrees on the ailerons? Also, do I need to program in aileron differential, or do I see how it flies and go from there?

Thx,
Tim

Was hoping flywilly or one of the current/previous Aurora owners would jump on this question...I tried last night to look at an Aurora60 print but I can't read Japanese...

I'll open my kits when I get home to see if there is any info in them?? Not sure there is...Been a while since I've looked at them so I forget...

Now I've "known" the Aurora prints were in all Japanese since I've had them...But it never really dawned on me until last night when I needed to get some information off them.... ...It's going to make building allot of fun!! I've seen others mention that little detail...But it just never really "hit home" ...

Anyone got a Japanese translator handy??

Is there some translating software out there?? I wonder if you could copy the writing into a PDF or Word document then use a program to translate it??

Chuck,

If you can create a document, then you might be able to translate it here:

Let's hope somebody can help us!!

Hey Tim,
Those throws sound OK. I can't remember exactly what the throws were on my Aurora. When in doubt, my approach has been to have a bit more throw with plenty of exponential or just use dual rates (I barely use dual rates any more, myself). I don't even measure the throws, just make sure that both ailerons match (and both elevators). I don't remember having any differential in my Aurora ailerons and very little pitch mixing with rudder (if any). I may still have the Aurora set-up on my transmitter.
Good luck and have fun!!
Will

Will,

Thanks for the info. I've got a Stylus, so I can program in several different rates and have them all available with the flip of a couple of switches. I'm sure I'll get it, but it's always nice to have somebody confirm your thoughts.
