Default RE: BME 37% Ultimate

Don't remember the exact gear purchased, just bought one with the closest measurements.

- 3D rates were the maximum the surfaces would allow, elevator was about 60 degrees.
- Normal rate elevator was about 3/4" to 1" up and down. This was still a little sensative since the CG was set 1/8" aft of the recomended aft point. Normal rate rudder and aileron were about 60% of the max rate.
- Engine thrust was +3/4 deg to achieve hands-off uplines. Inverted flight required slight forward stick.
- Upper wing was about +1 3/4 deg if I remember correctly.
