my Avanti-S just finished her maiden and the first few test flights a few days ago...and she does fly great but to be honest i was a bit surprised that the aileron numbers from the manual were way to high in my opinion...and i mean way to high...and i went even lower that the low from the manual as my high, and she still felt a litke a drill to me....so lucky that this thing can fly as slow as a falling leaf...so no harm in the end. A few test flights later and she is dialed in now...at least good enough to start with the rework into the M-Version...added an engine and landing lights so far, while my 3d-printer is doing his thing....this gives me some more time to finish the cockpit and the decals...

Correct. 32% of what as the "full" travel may be different for different people. Also different radios may produce different surface throws even though both are at 32%.
Setting your rates, either servo travel or in dual rates to a low value like 32% is a really bad way to set an amount of surface throw. You are reducing the resolution the servo see's and will have poor mechanical advantage. The much better way is to keep 100% or more in the radio and change your servo to horn linkage to reduce the surface deflection. Usually we can't move the push rod to a more outer hole on the surface horn so we have to move the pushrod in on the servo arm a hole or two.

The turbine guys are putting Freewing T-33 retract mechanism and modify the Avanti struts. That is what I have on mine.

ESC Cooling Vents?
I just ordered one and was wondering.
I fly in the southwest and have found that the ESC on the Eflite Viper 90mm, F-16 80mm, and FMS Futura V3 80mm does not cool properly and get really hot in our hot weather. The only venting on all of them is a slotted piece of wood on the inside of tube. For each of the above EDF’s I had to install vents cut into the fuselage.
How is the cooling on the EDF? Are you guys installing vents?
Pictures much appreciated. 🙏
