Default RE: ? on typical flap elevator setup

I don't have any pictures, but I'm just completing a Profile Oriental. Basic rule of thumb is flap and elevator both set to zero, but some put about one degree of down elevator to zero flaps. Helps the plane track better in level flight. I use R/C pushrod and clevis hardware to allow me to set flaps and elevator by very small increments. Many flyers are now using ball links to allow a totally slop free system.
