I set mine up the same as I do any other full house sailplane. For landing mode you want crow. Flaps down 45 degrees, ailerons up 20 degrees at full low stick. I did mix the flaps with the ailerons so the flaps have 50% of the throw of the ailerons. I mixed the flaps and ailerons to get a little TE droop with up elevator. With the recommended 1300 mah battery it will be way nose heavy. Mine balances perfect with an 850 mah battery. It will climb like crazy at full throttle so I used a throttle/elevator mix to solve that little issue. Once you get all the bugs worked out, the Calypso IMO is the best foam powered sailplane made.
