Default RE: Rudder & Nose Wheel Hookups

I'm using everything I can get out of the plane for my high rates.

My low rates are like this:

Elevator: 1/2+ an Inch up and 1/2" down
Ailerons: 3/4 and inch up and 1/2" down : I use 1/8"-1/4" up reflex on both ailerons for landings.
Rudder: 1 1/4" left and right.

The plane lands best with a nose up attitude, the landing reflex helps attain this.

Note: when the plane is flying too slowly it will "feel" like a slug on the controls, don't be tempted to pull up on takeoff right away.
