[NSRCA-discussion] Axiome 70 EP control surface throws

[Robert Harden]

Karl, if you would please try some snaps and spins and let me know how it
works out. Those are where the larger throws are needed. Thanks for the
help!!

I have the Axiome 70, still making trim flights, have about 6 flights so
far.  You don't need the throws in the instructions.  I have 12 degrees low
and 25 degrees high on the elevator and aileron which is plenty.  I am going
to decrease the throw on the aileron low because it is too much for flying
pattern.  I have about 25 degrees low and 35 degrees high on the rudder ( I
just eyeball the rudder and adjust after I fly).  I have not been doing any
snaps or spins so cannot comment on this.
