A good place to start with these airplanes is set the C of G 25% back from the leading edge. This will be very close to where the manufacturers recommend for a flat bottom airfoil like the Clark Y or similar.
Control throws, if you have dual rates start with say 15 degrees for low rate and 30 degrees for high rate. For rudder use 30 degrees. This will be a good starting point and adjust it to personal taste from there.
The above settings will give you a good place to start and you will probably find you won't change it a great deal from here for normal flying.
Hope this helps

I'm with foul line, I'll need to look it up.
I belive that the CG is 3.75" back from the leading edge. Don't quote me on this though.
Mine has a TT 46 pro and I ended up having to put 2 oz. of weight on the back end to get the CG where it needed to be.
Not sure what tires you have, but mine came with the foam type. Replace them with rubber. You'll have to anyways after a few landings on asphault(sp)

CG = 3 3/4" back from leading edge of wing.
Ailerons = 3/8" travel in each direction (up/down).
Rudder = 7/8" travel either direction.
Elevator = 1/2" travel either direction.
Good luck.
