Personally, I set the plane up standard and then fly. Usually I find one surface moves a bit too much or little for my liking and seems out of balance with the others. I resolve this by moving the control rod a hole in or out at the servo or control horn. You can also do this by changing travel in that channel with a lot of radios these days but I like to "hard wire".

Example. I put strip ailrons on my Kadet Senior. Quickly found out they were way to brisk and sensitive and the rudder was a bit lacking. So, at the control surface. moved aileron rods out a hole and rudder in one.

We all fly different. Just gotta play with it. But there is no reason with all those holes in the control horns and sevos plus the radio programming you cannot customize to just what you like.
