GP Pitts: Actual flight seup data ?

Will those of you who have actually flown one of these, please post the following information:

1. High rate throws: Ail, Ele and Rudder; how does she handle at this rate?

2. Low rate throws: Ail, Ele and Rudder; how does she handle at this rate?

3. Engine, prop and RPM (if you tached it).

4. CG Location ?

Thanks,
Craig (about three days away from flying mine...)

GP Pitts: Actual flight seup data ?

I have one with a FPE 2.4. I set up all throws per the manual on high and low rates. I have the CG at the rear most recomendation. Using a Mejzlik 19x11N 3-blade. Turns about 6400 rpm, and flys great. It is not a 3D flyer, and vertical is not unlimited, but it is very scale like. I think it weighs about 14 1/2 lbs.

Ailerons were a bit less than I prefer, but PLENTY of rate. USE EXPO!!!

2. Low rate throws: Ail, Ele and Rudder; how does she handle at this rate?
I do not use low rates. Don't like flippin' switches.

3. Engine, prop and RPM (if you tached it).
Taurus T-52, ProZinger 20 x 10, 7550

4. CG Location ?
5 3/8" aft (I think it's in the middle of the range; it works VERY well)
