I set my rates Low/Mid/Hi with Low and Mid being what was recommended in the manual and Hi is basically maximum deflection on the ailerons. I don't have my radio nearby, but i think my expo is not much, somewhere around 10-15%. It flies very nice and easily "putters around" at less than half throttle when learning. No need for flaps on takeoff (or landing) first flights. I think that mine pitched up when selecting 1/2 flap, so i mixed in some down elevator but it flies great even without flaps, so don't stress with those during the first flight.
Someone with the numbers at hand could hopefully give you their numbers, i just wanted to post a reply

I'm seriously considering one of these. I have a couple of Motion gift certificates that we'd originally bought to give our son for his birthday this year, so he could buy himself a Heng Long tank, but then he posted that what he really wanted for his birthday, was contributions towards replacing his aged and failing computer. We threw the same amount into his new computer fund, and just held onto the gift certificates.
I even already have a battery that is right for this plane.

After 36 flights I decided to give the Rebel a makeover so I upgraded the edf fan to 12 blade FMS 6s 1860kv inrunner 2.25kg thrust all up weight with battery, oleos and new paint job 1785gms 1;1.275 power to weight 86gms/dm2 wing loading, just waiting for appropriate weather to re maiden. adjusted the canopy and pilot location to squeeze in 2700 6s 40c battery made up from 2 no 3s packs I already had. Photo attached. Cactus dodger if you buy this plane check the cg BEFORE you add the nose cone, then you can hide weight in it before you glue it on ( less weight this way. If you can get a nose leg oleo then do so it will save you grief on landings CG 90 to 95mm from where wing joins front of body.. Also suggest you reinforce the area around where the nose leg servo is, I just spread some epoxy resin to create a strong eggshell structure but do this before you add nose weight. Have Fun

I've just started loving rc jets. I've been flying the Dynam twin edf 64 mm ,the eflite fury 2. There a few new ones that I'm a bit scared to fly like my freewing mirage 2000 tiger meet 80mm edf jet. Will this freewing Rebel V2 be a good jet to start flying bigger and faster jets. I've seen so many videos on utube and the guys make it look so easy to fly and land?
thank you all.
God Bless.
