Focus 11 Throw Controls

[Kaut, Ken]

Hi Mike,
 
Here's what I used for the first flight on my Focus II:
- Elevator 15 degrees, 50% expo
- Ailerons 12 degrees, 40% expo
The instructions that came with mine recommending setting the wing at
zero for first flight (see bench setup toward the end of instructions
under the section titled Pattern Airplane Trim Guide).  I did that and
after a few flights I've probably adjusted the wings back close to 1/2
positive....I'd have to check.
 
These settings were good for first flight.  I think you'll find the
elevator will have more than enough travel.  I reduced the travel on
mine after a couple of flights.  It will just depend on how sensitive
you want your elevator to be.
 
Hope that helps.
 
Regards,
Ken Kaut

I am setting up my plane - can anyone tell me what would be the best
recommended throws for ailerons and elevator for the 1st flight?  Also,
the plans suggest a 1/2 degree positive in wing and a 1/4 degree
negative in the stabilizer - should I leave this setting or should I
zero wing out for the 1st flight?  CG will be as per plans.  I can put
dual rates in, but still need a basis to start with.

Thanks, 
Mike Pascale
