FINAL FLIGHT PREPARATION
Check the Control Throws
Because the servos and pushrods are factory-installed
the control throws should already be correct, but because
of the effect the control throws can have on a model, it’s
always a good idea to check them anyway.

1. Con rm that the controls are responding in the correct
direction according to control inputs from the transmitter.
If necessary, use the servo reversing program in your
transmitter to change the servo direction of any controls
that are moving the wrong way.
❑
2. If your de Havilland Beaver is con gured with wheels,
use a small box or something similar to prop up the bottom
of the fuselage under the tail so the wings and stab are
level (or nearly level).
❑
3. Measure and set the control throws according to the
measurements below. The throws are measured at the
widest part (front-to-back) of each surface.
