Default RE: Another Skymaster Viper

Can anybody give me (on the conservative side) their EXACT throws on the control surfaces of this plane ?

And also the EXACT CG on a conservative side?

I had a Large SM Viperjet originally and she went in and was destroyed when a flap hung up on the TE wing skin. I think my throws for flaps and elevator were too high. Plus I have read many posts that the combination of too much throw and too tail heavy make this plane VERY susceptible to stalling.

Especially at tops or bottoms of loops where elevator may be accidentally applied too aggressively.

I am sure somewhere in the middle of this 65 page thread there are some throw settings but am looking for conservative CG and throws that will fly the plane well but err on the side of caution for things like stalling.

Thanks guys!
