8 . Operate the fl aps from the transmitter. On the Tactic
TTX600 the fl aps are operated using the dial. Check that the
fl aps move down the same amount and do not bind in the up
position. If one of the fl aps moves down more than the other
or binds in the up position, loosen the screw in the screw
lock pushrod connector and adjust the pushrod until the fl aps
operate correctly. Check that all the screws in the screw lock
pushrod connectors are tight against the pushrods.

One major factor that determines how an airplane handles
in the air is the control surface throw, or how far each control
surface (aileron, elevator and rudder) moves up and down or
left and right. If the throw is too much, the plane will respond
too quickly. If the throw is too little, the plane will respond too
slowly. The control throws in the Fw-190 have already been
determined by where the pushrods are connected to the servo
arms and the control surfaces and by how far the servo arms
rotate. But, if you are using a radio control system different
than the one recommended, the servo arms could rotate more
or less than anticipated, changing the throws. Therefore, it’s a
good idea to double-check the throws just to make sure they
are acceptable. Follow the procedure below to make sure the
control throws are properly set.
❏
1. Move the aileron, rudder, elevator and throttle sticks on
the transmitter, making sure the controls respond in the correct
direction. Use the servo reversing function in the transmitter
to reverse any of the controls necessary.
Measure the elevator throw fi rst:
❏
2. Use a small box or something similar to prop up the aft
end of the fuselage so the stabilizer will be level (or nearly level).
❏
3. Still without the propeller mounted on the motor, switch
on your transmitter and connect the motor battery. Place a
ruler next to the trailing edge of the elevator at the widest part
(from front-to-back).
❏
4. Use the transmitter to move the elevator up and measure
the distance it moved from center. This is your “up” control
throw. Measure the down elevator control throw following the
same procedure. Compare the up and down elevator throw
to the recommended elevator throw below. Measure and
compare the rudder and aileron throws as well.
These are the recommended control surface throws:
ELEVATOR
RUDDER
AILERONS
FLAP 1/2" [13 mm] Down
LOW RATE
5/16" [8 mm]
Up & Down
3/8" [10 mm]
Up & Down
3/4" [19 mm]
Right & Left
HIGH RATE
7/16" [11mm]
Up & Down
1/2" [13mm]
Up & Down
1" [ 25.4 mm]
Right & Left
Note: If you ever install different servos in the plane or use a
different radio control system, make sure you check that you
still have the recommended control throws.
