I recently purchased a Grace and a 9C Super, and was hoping for some expert advice on initial set-up.

This is my first R/C experience, but am an experienced sailplane pilot. I recently moved from the Denver area to the Northern Kentucky area, and since there is no soaring in the area, I have a bad flying jones. My wife said to use the energy for good and not for evil, ergo the foray into R/C.

I have poured over the 9C manual and have a fair grasp on HOW to set up the radio. My questions surround setting up the control surface percentages for this particular model. Maybe being a pilot has me overthinking this and putting me at a disadvantage, but I don't want to launch a new plane to find that I have the control surface mixes too far out of kilter either.

I have ordered a couple of DVD's from Radio Carbon Art which should help, and have read a lot of information here. The materials and links Ed Anderson has put together have been very helpful as well.

Anyone out there who has set up a Grace or a Elegant 2? Just looking for a starting point so that I have a stable platform to tweak from...

Not that this has any real bearing on the set-up, but the model has the Medusa MR-028-056-1900 w/ 4.3:1 gear drive and Li-Poly recommended by Sal at NESail.

Thanks!
