COMMENTS: To simplify setup, the high-rate (3D) control throws for this model are automatically set by the geometry of the included hardware. If your radio has the capability, low-rates will make it easier to perform precision aerobatics. Great Planes recommends 40% endpoints for all low-rate throws. If your radio does not have low-rates, set up the model using only the high-rate throws.
