Stingray setup
 

Can someone please tell me the control throws and c/g for a yellow aircraft stingray.

Hey Foster4u,

Just checked my manual, and added a few comments...

CG: 5-3/4" back from leading edge at the wing root.
I put it 1/8" ahead of this with gear down and the UAT full. Gear up should be about bang-on and I can't see any reason to change it.

Control throws:
Ailerons: 5/8" up and down. This is WAY too much. I reduced it to 60% of that on my high rate with ~25% expo, feels about right.
Elevator: 1" up and down. I added 25% (now 1-1/4") to both up and down motions with 25% expo. Seems about right. A friend flew one with stock 1" setting and ran out of elevator on landing. Mind you I think the aircraft in question was a little nose-heavy.
Elevator Reflex: for level flight the elevons should be around 3/16" up. You'll be within a few trim clicks for sure...
Rudders: 7/8" left and right. Works fine...
Nose wheel: do taxi tests and adjust your mix to make it friendly...

Try a few seaches on this subject. There's a few threads about this already.
Last, don't let it get too far away on the first flight. Its a small aircraft and it can disappear in a real hurry!

Good luck, :)

Hey William,
What ever you do, do not get the cg to far back. The plane will
still fly but if you get to slow it will stall and can go into a
flat spin. (how do I know). I love mine and it get easier to
fly each time you fly it. Keep it in close as the others have
said.
