3. Make certain that the control surfaces and the carburetor
respond in the correct direction as shown in the diagram. If any
of the controls respond in the wrong direction, use the servo
reversing in the transmitter to reverse the servos connected to
those controls. Be certain the control surfaces have remained
centered. Adjust if necessary.

Set the Control Throws

To ensure a successful fi rst fl ight, set up your Revolver
according to the control throws specifi ed in this manual. The
throws have been determined through actual fl ight testing
and accurate record-keeping allowing the model to perform
in the manner in which it was intended. If, after you have
become accustomed to the way the Revolver .50 fl ies, you
would like to change the throws to suit your taste, that is
fi ne. However, too much control throw could make the model
too responsive and diffi cult to control, so remember, "more
is not always better."

1. Use a box or something similar to prop up the bottom of

2. Hold a ruler vertically on your workbench against the
widest part (front to back) of the trailing edge of the elevator.
Note the measurement on the ruler.
❏
3. Move the elevator up with your transmitter and move the
ruler forward so it will remain contacting the trailing edge. The
distance the elevator moves up from center is the "up" elevator
throw. Measure the down elevator throw the same way.
❏
4. If necessary, adjust the location of the pushrod on the
servo arm or on the elevator horn, or program the ATVs in
your transmitter to increase or decrease the throw according
to the measurements in the control throws chart.
If your radio does not have dual rates, we recommend setting
the throws at the high rate settings.
NOTE: The throws are measured at the widest part of the
elevators, rudder and ailerons.
