Default Extra ready for maiden

Well it's done. Ran a few tanks of fuel through it tonight to set the engine up, checked the balance and went over all the bolts. All the throws are set, dual rates are dialed in, just have to charge the batteries and go. Hopefully she'll see the sky this weekend if the weather holds out. This is my first tail dragger so any input would be appreciated. I set the elevator throws per plan, says DO NOT use any more but they still look skimpy to me. A 1/4" up and 5/16" down on low rate and 5/16" up and 3/8" down on high.

Great Planes Extra 300S 40 size with a S.T G51 in it.

Wish me luck,
Dan
