Park 450 motor with correct spacers between the motor

Control Throws

1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver of your Edge 540

BP. Check the movement of the rudder using the transmitter.

When the stick is moved right, the rudder should also move

right. Reverse the direction of the servo at the transmitter if

necessary.

2. Check the movement of the elevator with the radio system.

Moving the elevator stick down will make the airplane

elevator move up.

3. Use a ruler to adjust the throw of the elevator, ailerons

and rudder. Adjust the position of the pushrod at the control

horn to achieve the following measurements when moving the

sticks to their endpoints.

Note: Measurements are taken at the widest point on

the surface.
