Chris,
The cg range is 4-1/2 to 5" from the LE of the wing at the center section. . I have my CG at about 4.75". From the plans, elevator is 30 degrees up and 25 degrees down; rudder is 20 degrees either side; flaps are 60 degrees; ailerons 25 degrees up and down. I have my flaps on a slider and have almost 90 degrees of throw possible, but will start with much less. My flaps are also closer to scale, which means smaller than the plans. My elevator has as much up throw as I can get, but I have triple rates so that for flying around I will have it much tamer, but on landing I want as much on hand in case I need it, coupled with a lot of expo on the elevator in the full throw position. You've done a great job! I hope to get mine in the air this summer. I've almost finished re-wiring the wing plugs with a thunderbolt RC plug so I won't have quite so many independent connections to make. Good luck and keep us posted.
Sam
