It's not a pettern plane or anything of sorts. It's a "squirley/twitchy" anything goes type plane. I've flown mine with the and without the SFG on it. I just removed them again because I find it easier to tranport with other planes without them on.

I like a LOT of rudder and have it set basically at the maximum amount it will go without hitting the stab. I can kife edge with it just fine without the SFG on it. I don't use any mixing on the DX7 I fly it with.

I've tried moving the CG back a bit but end up finding I like it best without any additional tail weight and just fly it with 1800-2200 zippy packs in the normal position and find it flys best all around like this.

This plane isn't really something you can hover easily on (compared to other models) so don't worry to much about it. It will however harrier quite well. I probably spend most of my time flying it under 10' mostly inverted.

PS While I like to use full rudder I don't use a lot of elevator. Since the fuse is short I find using "medium/low" elevator with lots of wing and rudder suits my flying style. I toned down the elevator because I dind the plane looks like it's on a roller coaster track at times when pushing/pulling the right stick.
