Balancing the TWISTER
Support the model to the right and left sides of the fuselage (at the root of the wing)
about 105 - 110 mm aft of the leading edge of the wing, ideally in inverted flight
position. If the centre of gravity is correct, the model should balance out horizontally
or with the nose pointing slightly downward.
If necessary, adjust the centre of gravity by shifting the position of the receiver
batteries or taping on trim weights.
Before flying the aircraft, set the transmitter trims to centre and ensure that all the
control surfaces are also exactly centred (in neutral position).
Rudder deflections
Ailerons 20 mm up and 10 mm down )
Elevators 15 mm up and down ) exponentially 30%
Rudder 40 mm left and right )
Landing flaps Take-off 15 mm down
Landing 70 mm down
These rudder deflections are only recommendations - the deflections must be
adapted to your individual needs.
Important:
When assembling the rods, always take care to ensure that they move freely and can
move through their entire controllable path - including trim travel - and are not
mechanically impeded.
When the joystick moves to the right, the rudder must turn to the right (left stick/left
rudder). When the elevator stick is moved back toward the belly, the elevators must
deflect upward. If the stick is moved forward, the elevators must deflect downward. If
the aileron stick is moved to the right, the right aileron should move upward; the left
aileron downward. When the throttle stick is pushed forward, the motor must run at
full power; if the throttle stick and trim are moved back to their end-points, the engine
must stop. If the trim travel is moved all the way back, the motor must stop. The
landing flaps are best activated via a three-position switch.
