The final thing that has to be done is to make sure the
controls move the correct amount. The control throws were
setup at the factory, so use the following as a guide to make
sure they work correctly.

The control throws are a measure of how far the flight controls
(ailerons, elevator and rudder) move. If the controls move too
much, the plane will respond too quickly and be difficult to
control. If the controls do not move enough, it may not be
possible to recover from adverse situations or to level out for
landing. Due to the great effect the control throws have on the
way a model flies, the control throws must be checked.

The throttle is to be set up so that when the throttle stick is
all the way down, and the throttle trim lever is all the way up,
the carburetor will be nearly, but not fully, closed and the
engine will idle at a low RPM. This will keep the engine
running when the throttle stick is pulled all the way down
(toward you) for landing. When it is time to shut the engine
off after landing, move the trim lever down to close the
carburetor the rest of the way.

Here's how to set up the carburetor…

❏

1. With the transmitter and receiver on, move the throttle

trim lever and the throttle stick all the way down.

❏

2. Observe the opening in the carburetor. If the carburetor is

fully closed, proceed to step 3. If the carburetor is nearly, but
not fully closed, loosen the screw on the screw-lock connector
on the throttle servo arm and move the pushrod back until the
carburetor is closed. Securely tighten the screw.

❏

3. Move the throttle trim lever all the way up, but leave the

throttle stick all the way down. Now the carburetor should be
partially open (about 1/32" to 1/16" [1 to 1.5mm]).
