Default Need manual or setup help for new pattern plane.

I'm a newbee to pattern flying, although I have been practicing Sportsman 401 maneuvers for a couple years with the planes I have. A club member who flys advanced pattern has got me inspired in pattern flying, so at an rc swap last weekend we found, and I purchased what looked to be a nice, more dedicated pattern plane than what I have. The only problem is, I don't have any information for setting up the plane, such as CG or starting control settings. I've looked online with no success except to find a review.
Here is what I purchased.

Cermark Javelin II 58" ws 61.5" long complete with OS 55 piped muffler and Hi Tec HS-430 BH servos installed.
If anyone has more information, I would very much appreciate a reply.

I have 2 of those, and modded one to electric. They will do very well in Sportsman..even Intermediate. I should still have the plans. I'll post up tonight the recommended throws and C/G.

Finally found them. Throws are: Aileron..1/4 inch up and down. Elevator 3/8 inch up and down. Rudder 1-1/2 inch left and right. C/G is from 5-1/2 to 6.0 inches from the wing leading edge where it meets the fuselage. Of course...these are the recommended starting points. You may see fit to change them to suit your flying style. Good luck with her. These are my two Javelins...1 nitro, one electric:

I had once of those when I started sportsman, but found that the blue terribly blendid into the sky at the worst times sometimes, and use to come in fast. But was still a nice plane to show off.
