Chapter 9 Radio And Control Surface Setup - PAU 36 Edge540 Instruction Manual

Now we're ready to check the CG and install your remaining hardware. The CG range is 6 to 7 inches back as
measured where the wing meets the fuselage. We recommend 6-1/2 inches for initial flights.
Check CG at this time and place your batteries and remaining
hardware in locations to attain the desired CG. If satisfied
mount your remaining hardware.
Congratulations! You have just completed assembly of your Edge540.
Now would be a good time to install the optional vinyl graphics
included with your kit.
Now we are ready to setup your aircraft for flying. Included is this manual are templates for measuring surface
throw you may use if desired. We recommend that you setup your aircraft on low rates for initial flights until
you become familiar with the aircraft and its capabilities.
The recommended low rates for this aircraft are:
25 degrees for ailerons with 0 to 20% expo
15 degrees for elevators with 0 to 20% expo
30 degrees for rudder with 0 to 20% expo
The recommended high rates for this aircraft are:
35 degrees for ailerons with 40 to 70% expo
45 degrees for elevators with 40 to 70% expo
45 degrees for rudder with 30 to 70% expo
or as much as you can stand for hardcore flyers.
CG Range is 6 to 7 inches.

What you will need in this chapter:
Completed airframe
Radio
Throw templates or meter
Cut out the templates for surface throw. These should be located on the last page of this manual.
Tape each one in place using the horizontal line as a reference point to each stabilizer at the counter
balance and at the inside of the wings where the ailerons meet.
Set your throws accordingly. Double check to make sure nothing is binding to include the throttle and
or choke servos and their linkages. Also, ensure all surfaces and controls are moving in the proper
directions.
