F. 2nd ATV

ATV is the abbreviation of Adjustable Travel Volume.

It is a device which allows independent adjustment of

the servo left and right (up and down) throw without
affecting the neutral position. Because of the engine
torque, precision of the model, and for other reasons,
the radius of left and right turns is always different
even if the left and right steering throws are perfectly
matched. The A T V is most convenient when left turns

are good, but right turns are to sharp. In this case, left
and right turns of the same radius can be easily made

by reducing the servo right throw slightly. The aileron

and elevator 2nd ATV is the conventional trimmer
type ATV.
