[NSRCA-discussion] Axiome 70 EP control surface throws

[Chuck Hochhalter]

I can't imagine more than 15 deg needed in elevator, 25 deg in ail (max for snaps) and 40 deg rudder seems normal .

I would track down more info before cutting anything apart.

Ryan Smith?!?! He built the first one I believe.
