I based my cg at 365 with a full uat and gear down, also at 365 I had it just slighty on the tail low side.

30* landing flap... No takeoff setting needed, just have it on a slow speed, one less thing to mess with. Takeoff roll full up until rotation to make the best of a short takeoff roll, similar to an f-4.. Unless you have the power like mine did at 35lbs and I just kept full up for a sweet looking hill climb. Also crow isn't needed for aoa... Go to YouTube and search Justin Tidwell, a few videos down you will see a video from kyjets on how mine flew. I also never used more than 15% expo on any of the surfaces.
