Default Super Chippy

Mine has a Saito 100.
On low rate my throws are approx 1/3 inch....High rate maybe 5/8.
Flaps 60 degrees W/ 5 degree down elevator when activated.
Really not a lot of throw is needed...I fly low rate most of the time.
Flaps slow it down to a crawl w/ a little power applied "Sweet"
Make sure your wheels extend just beyond leading edge...It will make ground handling easier.
My cg is right at spar.
It will get a little cranky on take off if you try to "horse it" off....To me takeoffs are more difficult than landing this puppy.\
Good Luck,
