The question of control surface throws pops up quite a lot in the INAV Fixed Wing Group, as well as elsewhere. Before we can tackle if there is enough throw, we first need to look at how to properly measure throw with INAV. TL;DW, use MANUAL mode only.
In this video we look at why the throws can be very different in different flight modes. This also explains why throws can only be measured in manual. But, if the throws look fine in manual, but small in acro; will this be ok for the maiden? I show how you can make a little change to give you more confidence that it will be.
