SECTION 10: CONTROL THROWS
We recommend setting up the Hyper Wing 400 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.
TEST-FLYING
Elevons Up & Down:
3/8" Each Direction
Elevons Right & Left:
3/8" Each Direction

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 basic
aerobatics with ease.

We do not suggest increasing the control throws beyond the recommended Sport-Flying settings.
Higher control throws will cause the airplane to be extremely control-sensitive and possibly result in a crash if you
are not careful.

Check the operation of the throttle. To do this, do the following:
A) Plug the flight battery into the ESC and turn on the radio system.

WARNING

✦
✦
✦
Do not turn the receiver on unless the transmitter is turned on first. Always turn the transmitter on first.
Never allow hands or clothing to get in the way of the propeller when the radio is turned on. Sudden unwanted radio
signals, or turning the radio on with the throttle stick set at full throttle, can turn the motor on unintentionally. Always
make sure that the throttle control stick is set to idle before turning on the transmitter.
B) When the throttle control stick is at the idle position, the motor should be off. Moving the stick forward
should turn on the motor. Gradually moving the stick to the full forward position should result in the motor running at
full power.
☞
Some ESCs will give you more proportional control than others. Your ESC may also have a manual control
adjustment screw that must be adjusted prior to using the ESC. (Refer to your ESC's operating guide for further
information.)

Before setting the control throws, you must first center both elevons. This is done by placing a straight
edge on the bottom of the wing, perpendicular to the hinge line, and adjusting the pushrods so that the elevons follow the
same angle as the bottom of the wing. Also, if you've glued the wing tip fences into position as described previously, the
tip of the elevons (at the trailing edge) will be even with the tip of the wing tip fences.
With the elevons in this centered position, they will both appear to be raised up in relation to the top of the wing. This is
normal and by design.
