WBF404, yes you should have a very successful maiden flight with it set up that way. If you don't have a manual what are your throws set at. The manual calls for these just to help you, elevator is 3/8" up & down, ailerons are 5/8" up & down and rudder is atleast 2" each way just to give you the basic set-up. I have always set them to these and they have all flown great. GOOD LUCK on your maiden flight.
