Control Throws - Seagull Models Arising Star Assembly Manual

Arising Star.

CONTROL THROWS.

1) We highly recommend setting up the
Arising Star using the control throws listed.
We have listed control throws for both initial
test flying/sport flying and 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: 3/8" up
Elevator: 3/8 " up
Rudder: 1/2" right
AEROBATIC FLYING
Ailerons: 1/2" up
Elevator: 5/8" up
Rudder: 1" right
Do not use the aerobatic settings for
initial test flying or sport flying.
4) By moving the position of the adjust-
able control horn out from the control surface,
you will decrease the amount of throw of that
control surface. Moving the adjustable con-
trol horn toward the control surface will in-
crease the amount of throw.
