Tinman

A good place to start with these airplanes is set the C of G 25% back from the leading edge. This will be very close to where the manufacturers recommend for a flat bottom airfoil like the Clark Y or similar.

Control throws, if you have dual rates start with say 15 degrees for low rate and 30 degrees for high rate. For rudder use 30 degrees. This will be a good starting point and adjust it to personal taste from there.

The above settings will give you a good place to start and you will probably find you won't change it a great deal from here for normal flying.

Hope this helps
