Default Morris Knife Flaperons

Hi Everyone,
I've got my Knife sitting here ready to fly it's maiden flight this weekend barring any weather problems. I was thinking about the flaperons, and thought I better ask a few of you how you are setting them up to be sure I have them right. I know different planes require them to go up or down with up elevator depending on the model. Also, do you put them on a switch, flight mode, or leave them on all the time?

On another note, I can honestly say without a doubt that the plane was very simple to build...right up until the servo installation. What a royal PITA!!! I've built a ton of models over the years, but that radio installation had to be the most aggravating thing I've ever done. The directions are useless. If you do as they suggest, you'll never be able to get the tank out once it's in there. On the other side it would be a pain to get to the battery and reciever should you need to. I had to come up with a completely different removable setup. I also made a few other mods in the radio area to the plane. I will post some pictures of the setup. Hopefully they will help others keep the stress level down when installing their radio gear.
