High rates for my rudder is actually set up to use all travel that is physically possible before any binding occurs. I just have a lot expo programmed with it. I use it for tight turning during slow taxiing.
take care , TKS for posting !!!

Had the chance to get out and do the maiden this morning. Setup by the book and had only 1 minor issue. Had to trim in a ton of up elevator. CG at 150 just as they called out and it just seems the neutral position for the elevator in the book is way wrong. Not a big issue finished the maiden with no problems. I then mechanically set my neutral to reflect how i had it trimmed out and second flight was like a dream!!!!!
This is a big jet, but it floats and fly's like nothing else! Would recommend this to anyone that has any flight time at all. And just as a bunch of other people have said, this could be a EDF Trainer it fly's that nice!
Can't wait to get out and get a few more flights on it and really get a true feeling for it! Amazing jet though. Worth the price for sure!

Congrats! I found the 5.5mm for the stabs to be perfect. Some misunderstood the reference point for the 5.5. Can we see a picture of where you're at?

Going to maiden tomorrow. To be clear on stab 5.5mm setting, could someone post a pic of neutral setting. Pretty sure I have it set correctly, 5.5mm down from the straight line above on fuse. Picture in manual is dark in my manual and hard to really reference it. I am sure it is close enough but I would rather not fight a way out of trim plane...
Thanks.

my bearings on my elevator shafts have seized, would anyone know the size of the bearing? I would just buy the elevator shaft kit but by the time I add postage it’s $42 AUD so trying to source the bearing locally in Aus.
thanks

This is where the confusion is.
I'll upload a picture of how I am setup in the morning.

I was measuring from the top as I read that somewhere but seen conflicting info. Probably still be flyable that way but I would rather not. Thanks again...
