Default Salto v-tail (new)

hello,
am new with gliders
i used to fly a phonex2000 EP glider 2m wing span from hobbyking and it was so easy for me
now i got myself a Salto V-tail 2.6 wing span from flyfly models
but as we don’t have lots of mountains here in Egypt i managed to convert it to EP with a folding prop

so anyone could help me in setting up my moving surfaces
any special recommendations ?!

- i will mix my elevator with the rudder to make the v-tail work on both functions
- i will also setup my flaps on a 2 position switch (1st) and a butterfly mode on the same switch (2nd)
- any more mixes i should make ??

- what is the max through of ailerons and flaps ??
- how can i properly mount my wings, as the provided parts is a carbon fiber wing joint bar, 2 carbon fiber roads for each wing to point the wing to the fuselage, O ringed head screws with a spring
- so the only part that will hold and keep the wingattachedthe fuselage is that spring between these two screws
is that can provide enough strings to the wing???

i am a gasoline planes RC pilot but with ZERO experience in gliders )

Lots of power
Fly it fast
Be careful of tip stall
You might want to use a wheeled dolly for launch as the Salto needs speed to fly.
Everything you have done is OK.
Good luck...

is installing the curved wing tip to the wing could help in reducing the chances of wing tip stall ??
