I thought I would pass this information along.

I asked Horizon Hobby about specs for the tail movement, as none are listed in the manual or on line for the AeroScout. Note that the entire horizontal stabilizer acts as the elevator, not just a tab off of the stab. The elevator moves very little, probably less than 1/4". Here is their reply

The TX16S was bought somewhat on a whim, but after some research and talking to one of the club members. There's no real manual for this thing and no written instructions on line, but there is a lot of videos. So far, I've learned to bind it with three different receivers, implement some low/medium/high rates, implement arming switch (on motorcycle…
