Really- there are no base settings on a nitro engines carburetor. Because your geographic location, weather, fuel, plug, pipe all play a role in the carbs tuning. I'd say just richen up all the needles a couple turns and then lean until it starts. Then follow a good break-in method of your choice. I recommend the Bess Method for break-in.

most engines nowadays are around these settings.

1 mm throat gap , LSN 3 - 4 turns out from closed and the HSN 3 turns out. Not the garunteed figures for you but they should get her going.
