Status: offline 		I'm at the balance and control throw set up stage on my Ziroli Corsair. Any advise on the best throws and Futaba computer mixing set ups would be appreciated.

Engine - Q75XL
Robart retracts
Flaps
Futaba 9c radio

Thanks,
Dave

Status: offline 		Dave ...Have same set-up as you have including Q-75....now 5 yrs old and 170 flts later still handles like a Cadillac....For starters set-up the elevators on Dual-rate....3/4" high and 1/2" low ...I use the 1/2" travel most of the time now... Ailerons initially set to 1" up and 7/8 " down...I now am using 1-1/8" up and 1" down... I will use flaps for T/O occasionally and put them @ 15 Deg for T/O and 45 Deg for landing.....Mine weighs in @ 33lbs..and basically does a "Grease Job" almost every landing...alot of that due to being a solid and stable airplane....My CG "Finally" ended up @ aft limit area ...but start at the Fwd limit ...make sure its balanced with gear retracted......this plane has a "huge" wing area and handles superbly....Just keep turns on climb-out and approaches to landing less than 30 degrees...leaves a nice window for margin of error.....I assure you you'll have a blast....Bill...

Status: offline 		Thanks very much Bill! Did you program any aileron-rudder mix or do it manually? I have a notorious lazy left thumb.

Didn't I also notice a post from you about purchasing one of Jim's 100" Corsairs? I have kit number four en route somewhere on Greyhound now.

Status: offline 		Dave....Didn't order one yet.......only mixing I did was with full flaps mixed in 1/16" down elevator....F4U turns nicely with light use of rudder in turns....Bill....
