Adjust the throw limits for the control surfaces to match
the following guidelines.
You can reduce the amount of throw by doing either
or both of the following...
- From the servo end, move the clevis to a hole in the
servo arm that is closer to the servo output shaft.
- From the control horn end, move the horn out further
on the threaded shafts. Always confirm that the horn
is still thoroughly engaged with the threaded shaft
after you have adjusted it.
