Default Tequila Sunrise control throws??

Hello, got a tequila sunrise .25 size today and will do the test flight tomorrow. I got the CG from the online MAN review, now I just need the control throws. Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Best Regards,

Michael

How is the ground and slow flight handling? I've heard this little rocket can be a handfull.

Aileron high 3/8 low 1/4
elevator 1/2 3/8
rudder 3/4 5/8
this is just in case you wanted to see what the book says. Glad to see you are flying. Just in case you know of anybody that wants one and can't find it. The Hobbypeople store here in Las Vegas has 2 left. $89.00 each. Jeff

Thanks Jeffee. 2alpha, the ground handling is hard to judge, I have the wheel pants on and I fly off of a grass field, it doesn't track very well on the ground at all, I use a lot of rudder, the little wheels slow it down a lot on the ground then as soon as it rotates it starts to move out fast. And slow flight...Well it just really doesn't exist, it may slow down to about 20mph? maybe a little slower, but it does have the tendency to snap out of loops if you try and go too slow, I would defiantely say its a plane for the hot rodder, not the faint of heart. It likes to go fast, and mine is a little weighs a little less than advertised I used mini servos and mine is an even 3lbs. The ads advertise 3.2 lbs. If you are going to get one, the only engine i can recomend is the GMS .32 I wouldn't recommend anything else. This is the 2nd one I've had and I'm in love. 8x6 prop at right under 16,000 rpm on the ground. I have aboout 12 flights on my tequila and it has become my favorite plane. Low stress do to low price. Only problem so far is that I got it in a flat spin Saturday and it is a bi**ch to get out of, as soon as I got free from the spin, there was the ground, only thing that got broke was the landing gear mounting block, fixed it in about 15min with epoxy. Can't wait to try another flat spin. Anymore questions on this plane feel free to ask on this thread or send me a PM.
