Default RE: what is the correct setting for the bot tail.

I flew the bird of time quite extensively when i flew in hawaii and what i found most helpful was to use an incidence meter.. the wing is at +2 degrees ..so at normal flight the elev will be neg 1 degree or so when set at zero..i put mine at zero then trimmed to taste after test flights..that is at +2 on wing elev at 0, fuse datum line at zero as well..I hope that makes sense.. skylark-flier is correct about response of rud and the spoilers..i made the rud go as much as possible.for turns..a friend had one and programed elev to spoiler so when spoiler deployed , elev kicked in as when doing flaps...same smell...actually i have to pick mine up at hs ..its the 118 " kit that I'll convert to electric..also don't forget to make elev as tight as possible cause its only the wire holding it together...hope this helps..the more throw the better....
