OK folks I am about done with mine and was wondering what everyone is using for high/low throws, expo and any possible mixes.

It looks like this is gonna be a fun plane, I just don't want to overdoit on the fist flight and auger it in!

Set up for all the throw you can get, use about -50% expo for Futaba radios, mix in 50% flaperons, and have a ball. If you want low rates, around 1" on elevator and ailerons will do good. Leave the rudder at max throw. My rudder comes within 1/4" of hitting the elevators at max.

Get this plane to the field ASAP. You'll love it!

Just like JOEBOB said, Max the elevator and rudder, might take it a little easy on the ailerons but not trainer soft, anyway 50% expo on everything and 1st flight your gonna go wow I love this thing.

Set the cg 2 inches behind the main spar, even though that seems way far back it's not, and laterally balance it, I taped a penny to one of my wing tips at the cg to correct mine for hovering.
