Mix #2, “Elevator” - The left and right elevator halves must
move in the same direction.
Mix #3, “Rudder” - The upper and lower rudders need
to be mixed so that they move in the same direction.
Option without mixing - Use a “Y” connector to link the
two rudder halves.
Set the Control Throws
To ensure a successful fi rst fl ight, set up your VFO Pogo
according to the control throws specifi ed in this manual.
The throws have been determined through actual fl ight
testing and accurate record-keeping, allowing the model
to perform in the manner in which it was intended. If, after
you have become accustomed to the way the VFO Pogo
fl ies, you would like to change the throws to suit your
taste, that is fi ne. However, too much control throw could
make the model too responsive and diffi cult to control, so
remember, “more is not always better.”
❏
1. Hold a ruler on your workbench against the widest part
of the trailing edge of the elevator. Note the measurement
on the ruler.
❏
2. Move the elevator up with your transmitter and move the
ruler forward so it will remain contacting the trailing edge. The
distance the elevator moves up from center is the “up” elevator
throw. Measure the down elevator throw the same way.
❏
3. If necessary, adjust the ATVs in your transmitter
to increase or decrease the throw according to the
measurements in the control throws chart.
❏
4. Measure and set the low rate elevator throws and the
high and low rate throws for the rest of the control surfaces
the same way.
NOTE: The throws are measured at the widest part of the
elevators, rudder and ailerons.
These are the recommended control surface throws:
