elevator rigging for up and down

I have a nearly finished airframe and am in the process of rigging the elevators and need to know the range of motion for the elevators and can find nothing in the plans relating to this. Any information concerning this would be appreciated. The aileron information shows a 6 degree up and a 2 degree down for the reflexor and assume a normal max range on the deflection.

Hi Coote,
I don't remember if you have a Q2 (with the GU airfoil) or if you have a Q-200 (with the LS1 airfoil) . . . knowing that is kind of important. There are jigging templates, on the large template sheets that help you set the correct throw up and down.

For the Q2 the templates are here:
BL48.8 GU Canard Elevator Rigging Template


For the Q-200 the templates are here:
BL48.8 LS1 Canard Elevator Rigging Template

Both templates are also included in the ULTIMATE Q2/Q-200 PACKAGE .

Hope this helps . . . please let me know.

Thanks,
