3. Position the battery where necessary to get the Calypso

to balance, or use Great Planes stick-on lead weight.

Check the Control Throws

Same as the C.G., the control surface throws have a great
effect on how the model fl ies. Too much throw will make the

model too responsive and diffi cult to control and too little throw
will make the model unresponsive. Measure and correct the
control throws if necessary as instructed below.

Right Aileron

Moves Up

Left Aileron

Moves Down

1. Power up the system. The rudder and elevator response

was already checked on page 8. Now check the aileron throw.
When moving the stick to the right, the right aileron should

move up and the left aileron should move down. If necessary,
use the servo reversing in your transmitter to set the ailerons
to respond correctly.

2. Measure the elevator throw fi rst; power up the system

(turn on the transmitter and connect the battery) and move the

elevator up and down with the elevator stick on the transmitter.
Measure how far up and how far down from center the elevator
moves. As shown in the chart the elevator should move 3/4"
[19mm] up and 3/4" [19mm] down on high rates and 1/2"
[13mm] up and 1/2" [13mm] down on low rates plus or minus

1/8" [3mm].
