I just got a Sig something extra and need the recommended settings for the control surfaces. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. Seems to me it would be pretty touchy with that much throw. I have it set a lot less now and not flown it yet. Have you flown one with this much throw?? the balance is right on so I will give it a try and hope gravity is kind to me as it has been an enemy it seems.

At the recommended throws, it's still pretty sensitive on low rates if you aren't used to it.
I found that after flying my Tiger 2 with increased throws, I was still a little nervous with the SSE on low rates.
I ended up taming mine with about 30% expo until I got used to it. On high rates, it will roll faster than you can count them and still pay attention!

Beware of the roll rate as it is phenomenal and will distract you from seeing the ground coming up fast
If your engine has the capability, try going vertical with max throws on ailerons, THAT looks wicked
