Control throws on Svenson Stampe

Postby David Jones » January 15th, 2021, 2:03 pm

I'm in the process of setting up the control surfaces on a Svenson 1/4 scale Stampe, can anybody tell me what the throws for the ailerons, elevator and rudder should be. I can't find any reference to the movements on the plans or in the instruction booklet.
Thanks in advance, David Jones.

Rudder 7 mm short of clobbering the elevator,set 15mm short on rates, elevator, 55mm each way, set rates ar 40mm, ailerons, differential so you don’t have to abuse the rudder in turns, 25 mm up, 16 mm down,

All the lettering came from Pyramid Models. I’m not sure if it’s still in production

I've had the kit, the Flair sprung U/C kit and the decals for years. Everything we needed, apart from paint, was in the box. The model is covered in nylon and dope and has come out well. We hope to test fly it as soon as these lockdowns end then paint it. We have a Flair 1/4 scale Tiger Moth waiting for test flights as well, they should look good together in the air. :) :)
