Yes, the Evo is slightly different as the one piece tank moves the balance further back than the twin tanks on low fuel, so balance it 235-240mm with landing fuel in the ‘sump’

Movement/expo is pilot specific, I like powerful controls damped with Expo. But as any UF all control surfaces are powerful, so you can run smaller overall movement and still have good control. Ailerons need more down than up movement, if measured at tip intersection 1/16” more down than up.
Go Ailerons 10mm up, 11.5 down, Elevator 12mm up and down and rudder max you can get for a first flight then adjust. I would stick minimum 30% expo on ail/ele too. (I run more than these figures)
Flaps around 20-22mm take off with 1mm down mixed in. Landing I like loads, 100+mm with 4mm down. Balance and crow etc will vary this.

For pure KE you are going to need a couple of percent opposite rudder to aileron. Left rudder means right aileron/vice verse
