Owner manual

the servo end of the stabilizer pushrod until the top of the stabilizer control rod is even with the seam between the top and bottom stabilizer mounts. A piece of wire with an L-bend on the end can be used as a “gauge.” With the gauge under the control rod, adjust the elevator until the top of the gauge is even with the seam. Note: The plane in the sketch is upside-down because the model will be upside-down during this procedure. ❏ 4. Now that the stabilizer has been set up, secure
the nut on the bellcrank with threadlocker. Also lock the wheel collars that are on both sides of the swivel clevis onto the stabilizer control rod. Use a small drop of threadlocker on both set screws in the collars.
❏ 5. Make certain that the control surfaces and the
carburetor respond in the correct direction as shown in the diagram. If any of the controls respond in the wrong direction, use the servo reversing in the transmitter to reverse the servos connected to those controls. Be certain the control surfaces have remained centered. Adjust if necessary.
SET THE CONTROL THROWS
❏ Use a Great Planes AccuThrow (or a ruler) to
accurately measure and set the control throw of each control surface as indicated in the chart that follows. A ruler will have to be used on the stabilizer.
RECOMMENDED CONTROL SURFACE THROWS
IMPORTANT: The Piper Arrow has been extensively flown and tested to arrive at the throws at which it flies best. Flying your model at these throws will provide you with the greatest chance for successful first flights. If, after you have become accustomed to the way the Arrow flies, you would like to change the throws to suit your taste, that is fine. However, too much control throw could make the model difficult to control, so remember, “more is not always better.”
