Default Curare control throws?

I picked up a 20+ year old Curare at a recent swap meet. After installing an engine, radio, and rebuilding the retracts she's almost ready to fly again.

I've placed the CG about 0.25 forward of the main gear, but I have absolutely no experience with pattern planes and wonder where I should start for control throws. Using the time-honored TLAR method (That Looks About Right) I've got them set to:

rudder 1.5 inches left/right
elevator 0.5 up/down
ailerons 0.5 up/down (no differential)

How's that for a starting point?
