Default Recommended throws for 3D


hey guys,
I'm flying a Funtana 40 and getting into 3D. What are the recommended throws for elevator, rudder and ailrons for 3D flying (in degrees).

P.S - I've set my throws to Elevator - 45 degrees, Ailrons - 35 degrees, Rudder - all the way

is this enough? i dont know havent flown it yet...

Thanks

Yeah, just max them all out for 3D. My elevator was 52 degrees. The rudder was all the way so it barely touched the elevator. Ailerons were max'd.

Yeah, if you fly Futaba dial in a bunch of Negative expo. to soften the control throws towards the center- maybe 40-50% depending how new to 3D you are, if you fly JR go the same amount Positive expo.

I have my Elev and Ail. going as far as possible, and Rudder just shy of touching the elev. halves and of course full travel on the throttle- You can also move the CG back farther and farther but do it little-bit at a time-

You have flaperons or spoilerons? Good times...
