Default TopCap HELP!

I just bought a TopCap used.
The guy didn't have the manual any more.
Could someone please answer these questions on setup.
Where is the CG on these?
What are the throws, on High and low duel rates?
Are the ailerons set as an extension of the wing or are they set like a Something Extra, slightly raised in the neutral position?

Grateful for any help
Steve

CG can be from 25-40%, start with 30% and work back.
Throws are as much as your servos will drive the control surfaces and as much as the bevelling will allow. This is a funfly = as much thhrow as possible. Dial in 50-80% expo, most on elevvator. For low rates, which you really won't be using, but for a first flight, set the, to 1" each way aul and elev, and 2" on rudder, and use 20-50% expo.
All incidences should be zero, so ailerons should point straight back.
