Default Nitroplanes P-38 need suggestions for control throws

Have acquired a new to me but older Nitroplanes P38 90 sized ARF.
I can't find any suggested control throws for this older Nitroplanes ARF.
Digging around the archives I located the old assembly manual and it was no help at all.
Any help would be appreciated.

As a rule of thumb for a maiden flight, I set high rate throws to max and cut that in half for low rate.

I agree Carlos .If you need a more fine tuned suggestion ram3500-RCU has some specific settings in his build thread on the Nitro P-38 90".http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_69...36/key_/tm.htm . #893 . But each model will perform differently so the safe way is what Carlos suggested . I hope this helps.Dan

Maiden went well, first two flights flamed out on port engine (Saito 82), but still flew well.
Third flight was smooth as silk.
After first flight took out all throw restrictions and proportionals, didn't need 'em.
