Just picked one up at the LHS second hand, uncrashed. with 422s' on ailerons, and 545s' on rudder and elevator, even came with a 6v battery pack, and a saito .72. Should be nice .

But I don't have a manual, so I just plunked a new receiver in it and now it's balancing about 1-1/2 inches behind the spar how's that sound? I want it set up conservitive for first flights, should I move it forward?

And, what about low rate throws? again, conservitive. I know there are guys out there who can fly them with the cg just slightly ahead if the horizontal stabs leading edge and 90 degree throws, but I'm pretty new to 3D and I wanna get used to the plane, besides, the high rated are there at the flick of a swith

Any and all help appretiated guys.

CG: 1.75-2" behind main spar, low rates: <30 degrees all surfaces, high rates: >45 degrees all surfaces. These specs are from the FF540P instruction manual. You probably should add a little expo also. I use 30% on low rates and 60% on high rates on elevator and ailerons, 25% on low and high rate rudder. Flaperons and spoilerons both at 100%. Mine is set up with an OS 70FS/APC 14X4W prop, HS-81 on throttle, JR DS811's on the flight surfaces, 1000ma 6V NIMH, R700 Rx. Still waiting on the good weather. Enjoy.

Thnx
