David, I have been flying with the Control Surface Travels: Ail. 3/4" up, 3/4 " down.......Ele.3/4 " up and 3/4 " down.............Rud. 1 1/2 " L and R..........Flap Appx. 40 degrees and the CG 3 1/4 " aft of wing leading edge at center section. This is from the owner`s manual. Also I use full up ele. on take -off roll, then back off as needed after it breaks ground. The pitch control can be very sensitive if it is tail heavy so a lower ele. setting after T/O (might) be needed. Well I hope this helps! ETOPS.
