ROO Control Throws
 
OK tomorrow is the big day, and I have a few questions
It will be the first flight on my composite Roo, I have been following all the Roo threads and the only thing I have not seen are the actual control surface throws you guys are using.
Here is what I have setup:

Elevator- low rate 16mm high rate 25mm
Ailerons- low rate 19mm high rate 22mm

Radio setup with 30% exponential

I have read that the Roo needs all the elevator it can get to rotate but how will it fly with this much?
I have flown other tailess models and have pulled some tight loops with no problems will the Roo be any different?
The only other thing I am worried about is the roll rate with the ailerons. Other fast planes that I have flown did not need much aileron throw due to the speeds involved.

Thanks in advance
David

Hey David;

Get ALL the ELEVATOR throws you can get, believe you me you will need it on take off. Dial in some diff throw on the Ailerons. Do not worry, It is a *****cat provided you have flown heavy fast jets. Good luck and tell us how it goes..

make sure CG is exactly as in the plans.

David,

I recommend dropping your low rate aileron to around 15mm. If you use a 10x, try three rates, but don't use anything more than the 22mm you already have for high.
