The amount of control throw should be adjusted as closely

as possible using mechanical means, rather than making

large changes electronically at the radio. By moving

the position of the clevis at the control horn toward the

outermost hole, you will decrease the amount of control

throw of the control surface. Moving it toward the control

surface will increase the amount of throw. Moving the

pushrod wire at the servo arm will have the opposite

effect, moving it closer to center will decrease throw,

and away from center will increase throw. Work with a

combination of the two to achieve the closest or exact

control throws listed.

Note: All control throws are measured at

the widest point of the control surface.

Once the control throws have been set, slide the clevis

retainers over the clevis to prevent them from opening

during flight.
