Default Throws for Dragon lady

I have an older Modeltec Dragon Lady 60 that was given to me with no plans. Can anyone advise the control throws and the C of G. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Default I'll give you what I got....

There's a Dragon Lady 60 in my attic that wants to come out - but it's staying up there for awhile.
My wife is totally unaware of this kept woman and I like it that way.

Honestly, there aren't any plans 'per se...not in my box anyway.

I'll tell you what I do have:
1.) a "Model Tech Instruction" book - (eight bound xerox pages 8.5' x 11.25 " all of which is entirely generic stuff - "building ready built Model tech planes" with very basic assembling, covering, linkages, motor mount and CG stuff.
And not one of the grainy pictures or diagrams is of a Dragon lady - by the way).

2.) "Dragon Lady" construction book by Great Wall Model Tech Co. Ltd.- 7" x 10" xerox pages
This is better - specific assembly step by step.
.....and on page 1:
__________________________________________
CG location 102-108mm from leading edge

"Suggested throw setting:
-Aileron: 9mm up and 7mm down
-Elevator: 13mm each way
-Rudder: 40 mm each way
(or according to personal taste)
____________________________________________
....I like that part!


Email me an address and I'll send you a copy.

Parker Leung designed a great one.
Locally we got a couple of DL 40s and I saw a guy fly circles inverted in a DL 60 at our club field....beautiful.

Thanks for the info AllThumbs. The aircraft was already assembled and had been flown when it was given to me. It is without engine and electronics, hence my need for C of G and throw info. I'm putting an ST 75 on it. Your note gives me all I need. Thanks, again.

Default No Problem.

Please tell us how it goes.

I like this plane and and what I've seen it do in experienced hands.

Someday hope to fly one myself, God Willing.
