Default Doh!

Ok, try this...

Look at the picture. Don't measure it, just look at it. Now set up your elevator with the same deflection BY EYE. Set the rudder with a little more, and the aileron with a little less, then fly the plane. Get up good and high before trying anything like a roll or a loop. Land, and make whatever changes you want.

If you don't think you can do this, then you are not ready to "maiden flight" a plane and should have someone else fly it for you regardless of how it is set up.
