Default RE: Surface alignment?

Found a manual on the Hobbico site under discontinued models.
Aileron: Low rate 5/16" up, 5"16" down. High rate 7/16" up, 7/16" down
Elevator: Low rate 3/16" up, 3/16" down High rate 1/4" up, 1/4" down
Rudder: 7/8" right, 7/8" left
CG: 3 5/8" back from the leqading edge. Check this with the plane inverted.

As I mentioned earlier, low rates produce a crisp response, high rates produce a lightning fast response, controllable if you are experienced but after trying both i was plenty happy to stick with low rates. I never did try high elevator rate and thought the low rate worked well.
I have included the link to the manula below in case you want to look it over.

Let us know how you like the plane.
