Default Initial Control Throws for Pattern Plane

I'm finishing up the repair on my ShowTime 50. It's time to set the control throws. The (downloaded)manual gives low and high rates for the plane - but this plane is intended for 3D stuff - thinking that 45 degrees on the rudder is a tad over the top for pattern flying.

Where would you suggest initially setting the throws (angles work for me) for doing pattern maneuvers?

Thanks for your input!
