8178, those are great looking models. The 45° engine mounting is a nice touch. I like how it puts the mufflers along the side.

What are the control throws on those planes? I'm getting ready to program my radio for my Kaos 42 and I'm not sure what range to start with (although I'll definitely have dual rates).

The 25 has ½” up and ½” down movement measured at the trailing edge of widest part of the elevator and 5/16 up and 5/16 down on the ailerons. I usually have the rudder movement as much as possible without causing leverage problems on the linkage. The Kraft 7C only provides low rate settings from those listed above. I like to keep the standard rate control throw movement conservative for smooth flying at speed so what I use might not be enough for others. Enough throw that it will drop into a spin easily but still flies smoothly.
