Control surface throws
I highly recommend that you purchase a throw meter that measures in degrees. There are several units
available commercially. These units are a great aid in set-up and definitely beat the “that looks about
right” method. For any type of precision flying, surfaces that travel equal distances are a must. The
following control surface travels are what I use on my own Edge. These are a good starting point, but are
by no means the only way to set up the Edge. Start here and then adjust to fit your own preferences and
style of flying.
Elevator: 10-12 degrees low rate, 18-20% exponential
all you can get for high rate, 50-60% exponential
Aileron: 18-20 degrees low rate, 30-40% exponential
all you can get for high rate, 50-60% exponential
Rudder: 20 degrees low rate, 50% exponential
all you can get for high rate, 60-70% exponential.
Again, this is just a starting point. Adjust to your liking.
Thanks again for your purchase of the Extreme Flight RC 85" Edge 540T
ARF. I hope you enjoy assembling and flying yours as much as I have mine.
See you at the flying field!
