SECTION 14: LATERAL BALANCING THE LIVE WIRE EP
Lateral balancing will make the airplane easier to trim and will make it track straighter in the air. It is highly recommended.
Turn the airplane upside down and tie one length of string to the propeller shaft and one length of string to the tail
wheel wire.
Carefully lift the airplane up by the two pieces of string. Watch how the wing reacts. If one side of the wing drops, that
side is heavier than the other. To correct this, push a small brad or nail into the tip of the lighter wing half.
Lift the airplane up by the pieces of string a couple of more times to double-check your findings. When done properly
the wing should stay level consistently when you lift the airplane up by the pieces of string.
SECTION 15: CONTROL THROWS
We recommend setting up the Live Wire EP using the control throws listed below. These control throws are suggested for
initial test-flying because they will allow the airplane to fly smoother and make it easier to control.
When measuring the control throws, measure from the widest point of the control surfaces.
Once you're familiar with the flight characteristics of the airplane, you might want to increase the control throws to the sport-
flying settings listed below. These control throws will make the airplane more responsive and allow you to do most aerobatics
with ease.
If you're using a computer radio system and want to set up your
Live Wire EP to use mixing, check out the Computer Radio Setup
section on the next page. We still recommend setting the
control throws to the Test-Flying settings shown above
