How to Adjust Control Throw for RC Airplanes
In this video I will go over how to adjust the control throw on your RC model airplane by understanding the geometry of where to place the control pushrod on either the servo control arm or the control surface control arm.
This technique is useful basic knowledge can be employed for various ARF models that need additional control throw, even if the computer radio is at 100%.
I also demonstrate as an example how I used this technique to increase the elevator control throw on my FMS Corsair RC model airplane.
