Default RichModel Long E-Z 46 help

Has any one flown the .46 Long E-Z by RichModel ? What are the control throws set at ?
Very easy kit to put together, everything fit great, but no control throws are mentioned.
This is my first cannard, so any help would be greatly appriceated.

Thanks in advance

Thanks, Cyclic

I saw the video, pretty cool but I am still looking for the control throw specifications. I am hoping to test fly it Labor Day.


Thanks

I'm planning on the 160 size this winter. I was uneasy about the whole thing until I saw a few of the RC videos on You tube. Not overly worried about it now. I don't think there are enough pilots around with one to get much help but maybe.

Thanks, Cyclic

The videos I saw looked good, dosn't look as fast as some say. I guess I'll go for the (Looks about right), and
hope for the best. I will use my high rates, and set the low rates at 65%, and dial in lots of expo. As long as I keep
the air speed fast enough to keep the front wing flying I should be OK. Mabey I'll wait till later in the week, when
the field won't have so many people watching. I'll let you know how I made out.

Thanks again

I heard a few people talking of how it flys and reminds me of high wingloading propjets and warplanes which is what I do. Not some floater tooling around the skies. Should be fine.

Do a search. There have been a couple of long threads on this airplane.
