Hi Trent,
1THEPALMER gave some excellent suggestion hera and it would be hard add to it but here goes.
The aileron throws need to be 35 degs or greater to counter torque roll.
The elevator throw needs to be 45 degs min.
The rudder throw needs to be 45 to 55 degs.
Oh yeh, and I second the big nads and willing to go low. The closer it is to you (and the ground by proxy) the easier it is to see every little twitch and adjust accordingly. Good luck and have fun!!!!!
