Default RE: Goldwing 50cc Pitts Python V3.

I took the pitts to our fun fly today for some show and tell and to run the motor some and ran she did.. After I primed it Iopened the choke and she spit on the third flip, closed the choke and one flip it was running.. I tell ya, the factory setting's on the carb are pretty spot on, I didn't check the R's but it sounded great.. I didn't want to run it to much on the ground, so I shut it down after a few minutes and the temp gun read 174... I ran it again later on in the day and decided to range check the radio, no problems there...

My list of things to do before we take it to the air is pretty short...

Need to balance here.
Check the incidence on the top wing, the stab and bottom wing are right on the money.
Adjust all the throws and set up my triple rates..
I need to re adjust the throttle servo, I have it set wrong.. I get way to much response out of the motor with each click on the stick, I will redo the end points. I did it the fast way so I could bring her to the field today, any tips on this and I am all ears...

Other then going over everything elsewith a fine tooth comb, I think it's about ready.... I did dumb thumb my little EDF in on landing, should have never flow that dang tiny airplane today.. It was windy and very cloudy, but no excuse, I zigged when I should have zagged. It's fixable enough!
