INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Set the Control Throws

To ensure a successful fi rst fl ight, fl y your Escapade set up according to the C.G. and control surface throws specifi ed in this manual. The throws and C.G. are not arbitrary, but have been determined through extensive testing and accurate record-keeping. They will provide you with the best chance for success and an enjoyable fi rst fl ight that should be surprise-free. Additionally, the throws and C.G. shown are true, real data which will allow the model to perform in the manner in which it was intended when fl own by a pilot of the skill level for which it was designed. DO NOT OVERLOOK

THESE IMPORTANT PROCEDURES. A model that is not properly set up may be unstable and possibly unfl yable.

The throws are also provided in degrees should you have an instrument capable of measuring the throws in that way.

Note: The throws are measured at the widest part of the elevators and rudder.

Read the measurement to get the throw.

Using the method for measuring the throws illustrated as follows, adjust the locations of the pushrods in the control horns and/or in the servo arms (or use the programming in your radio) to set the control throws according to the measurements provided in the Control Throws Chart.

Note the effect pushrod location has on the throws. If using programming in your transmitter to adjust the throws, note that the pushrods should be connected so that with the ATVs (or endpoints) at or near 100%, you can get the throws specifi ed.

In other words, with the ATVs at 100%, FIRST change the pushrod location to get the correct throws as close as possible,

THEN use the programming for fi ne-tuning.
