connected to the ESC, stay clear of the propeller!

Set the Control Throws

Your Mini NexSTAR EP RxR is set up out of the box to have 
the optimum control throws (the distance the control surfaces 
move when stick input is given). Programmable radio systems 
will allow you to increase or decrease the amount of control 
throw to suit for fl ying preference. We do not recommend 
increasing the control throws at any time as the model could 
become unstable during fl ight and landing. Control throws can 
be decreased. However, we suggest only doing this with the 
supervision of a fl ight instructor per their recommendation. 

The default control throws as the Mini NexSTAR EP is setup from 
the factory (assuming all ATVs are set to 100% in programmable 
radios) are provided in the table below. It is good practice to 
always confi rm control throws prior to fl ying a model for the fi rst 
time. This information is also useful if you change the control 
throws and wish to return them to the factory set amounts. 

Note: 

Control throw gauge templates are on page 13.
