Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot
I always wanted one of these little planes and since no one makes a kit for them anymore I went ahead and build it from plans. Thanks to the extenstive use of contest balsa it should weigh 3lbs or slightly less, power is an OS 25FX. I am also using fences instead of wingtips. However, I have no info on what the recommend throws are for these planes. As of now I a have them set at Ailerons 3/8 up and down, Elevator 1/2 up and down, and rudder 3/4 left and right. Does this seem right to everybody?

RE: Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot
Its a fun plane. I fly mine with ailerons at +/-3/16 on low rate, +/-3/8 on high. Elevator +/-5/16 on low, +/-5/8 on high rate. Rudder is all I can get; +/-1". The low rates give nice smooth aerobatics (say 3 second roll). Hi rates are pretty wild (2/sec). I think mine is heavier. Power is OS 46AX. Need the power to hold a knife edge. Otherwise flying 1/3-1/2 throttle is plenty.
