I was the builder of two of Steve Strickers TOC Ultimate's that he used in the mid eightes with great success. We had very thin wings 9% and very light wing loading. The incidence setup was 2 degrees up thrust, zero, zero, zero. Four degrees of right thrust to hold it straight at low airspeed. Steve always flew with as little mixing as possible and condition switches were not used by him at all. Several competitors couldn't fly without lots of mixing and a condition switch position for each type of maneuver. Each plane is different by design forces, location of the wings and the tail.
