Default CG Ultimate Control Throws

Cool!

So for maiden flight I will try:
Elev 3/4"
Ail 1/2"
Rud 1 1/2"

Does this sound about right?

My Ultimate will have a saito 1.80 in it so I am kind of being carefull with it. I haven't flown such a big bird with this much of a stump puller for an engine. When I broke in the engine it was moving the bench. It should pull the plane around no problem.

I used a protractor and drew extended lines (on some paper) showing the throws from the book. I made the surface look like my drawing. After a few flights I set them higher. My elevator was about 1 inch. The rudder was elevator to elevator. The ailerons were all I could get with some expo. This set up gave good response without always looking to snap under a load.

Without expo, I'd set the ailerons at about 60% of available throw.
