Hi Guys
Does anybody know what the correct elevator throw is in degrees up and down for a Laser 200?
Thanks

Re: Laser Elavator Throw
The info sheet calls out +/- 25°.
When I bought mine it was way out of wack! Something like 18° up and 34° down! I went through and had to adjust the whole system to get the pushrods and arms/horns in the proper location. The elevator pushrod within the control stick torque tube is really critical. Because it swings up and down inside the tube it's easy to induce a binding condition at full up travel. This must not happen! It puts excessive load on the rod end.
After playing with mine I was able to get the control stick centered where I wanted it and have +/- 28° of throw without binding. I was looking for a better nose high spin entry.
Regards,
Dave
