Peter,

One final bit of information please on your Algebra. I know that control throws are are a matter of personal taste but can you advise the ones you have on the Algebra so I have something to start from, including the most important aileron, flap and elevator for crow braking.

Thanks. Andy.

Andy,
Just measured my current setup which gives the following control surface movements:

Rudder: approx. 28mm each way measured at base of rudder
Elevator: front joiner 8mm up (pitch down) & 6mm down (pitch up)
Aileron: 23mm up, 10mm down (tip end)
Flap: 0 up, 30mm down measured at root end (approx. 50 degrees)

Full Crow uses full flap, 15mm up aileron & 2mm elevator pitch down. (Not yet fully sorted)

I use coupled aileron/rudder set to 50%.

As I can set flight modes, I have launch, cruise & land modes, with crow only available in landing mode.
Hope this helps.
Peter

Peter,

Thanks for the info. I can now make sure I have allowed for this much movement before covering the ailerons and flaps.

Andy.
