Here's what it says in the manual:

If you are using a computer radio with expo, we suggest that you run 100% expo on the ailerons and about 60% on the elevator.
(we are using full available throws. you may not want to use as much when you first test fly).
A good starting point would be 3/8" throw up and down for ailerons and 1/4" for the elevator both up and down
(if you use a heavier engine which brings the CG to the forward limits, go to 3/8" throw on the elevator).

...with that said, i have about 1 and 1/4 inch throws , but like i said before,, USE A TON OF EXPO~!!

The CG is at the forward spar. With anything over a .40, use a flat pack, and try to get it as far back as you can.

I launch mine by holding the left wing tip in my left hand,, with the right wing tip on the ground,, power up with my mouth,
let it go, and it will torque to horizontal,,,

Good luck with your dust, man! Let us know how it goes...
