FC 2.6 Extra Surface throws
Hello fellows
I am currently at the point were I can now start to dial in the setup for the ailerons on my plane. I can not get the throws that are recommended in the manual of 50 mm D/U ( low rates) & 80 mm D/U ( high rates).
I can obtain the Up throws but the Down throw is mechanically limited by the aileron sheeting and trailing edge of the wing. Note I do not mean the botom sheeting of the wing as the aileron clears this fine after i did some sanding of the aileron sheeting its self. I can get about .5 to .75 of an ich on the bottom throw.
What are you guys using during actual flying for a pattern and 3D aileron throws.
Thanks
Derrek

Derrek,
the throws in the manual are not needed. Just max out what you can. I am on the inside hole of the servo horn and I am not lacking on the aileron authority. Here are my throws in degrees.
UP aileron 16
down 17.5
Up elevator 12
down 12
rudder half of max.
If you fly IMAC you will be very please with the way it snaps.
For 3d I have everything maxed. 45 up elevator 50 down elevator

Something must be wrong because I just set mine up afew days ago and I was able to get 2.5" down and 2.75" up. Thats measuring from tip to tip at the fuse side of the wing.
I like to 3D alot and when I first started to move the throws I was a little disapointed. Then I started to move the hinging pretty firm up and down to losten them up and I got it to where I have twice the throw that it had.
Also this plane,as you can see,has huge ailerons for its size and they come almost all the way the fuse so I think we should have alot more authority then we even need.
Good Luck
Dave

I accidentally wrote the wrong numbers down on the available down throw I am getting. I can get about 45 cm of throw or about 1.75 inches of throw.
