CONTROL THROWS.

!1)
We highly recommend setting up the
ULTIMATE using the control throws listed at
right. We have listed control throws for both
Low Rate (initial test flying/sport flying) and
High Rate (aerobatic flying).
!2)
Turn on the radio system, and with the
trim tabs on the transmitter in neutral, center
the control surfaces by making adjustments
to the clevises or adjustable servo connectors.
The servo arms should be centered also.
! 3) When the elevator, rudder and aileron
control surfaces are centered, use a ruler and
check the amount of the control throw in each
surface. The control throws should be
measured at the widest point of each sur-
face!
INITIAL FLYING/SPORT FLYING
Ailerons: 5/8" up
Elevator: 3/4" up
Rudder: 2 1/2" right and left
AEROBATIC FLYING
Ailerons: 1" up
Elevator: 1 1/4" up
Rudder: 3 1/2" right and left
Do not use the aerobatic settings for
initial test flying or sport flying.

able control horn out from the control surface,
you will decrease the amount of throw of that
