Tips
Tow hook can be located back from nose 18-1/8 for aggressive
launching. This measurement is to rear side of tow hook. For initial
launches move adjustable tow hook  forward. When you are
comfortable launching at this point, move tow hook rearward to fit
your flying style.
To set up decalage, mount center wing section and stabilizer. Hold
model from the rear and set the imaginary line that goes through
trailing edge and leading edge of stabilizer parallel with bottom of
wing.
Cant the elevator servo arm forward 15 degrees for more up elevator
control throw.
Suggested balance, control throws and mixer
Balance: 400 mm or ~ 4 from leading edge of wing
Rudder throw: + / - 2 each way.
Elevator throw: +   -  
Spoiler: 7/8 up measured at trailing edge of spoiler
Elevator mix: Up elevator to spoiler 70 % mix.
Decalage: Align centerline of stabilizer parallel with bottom of wing.
