Nice! With the new version it tempts me even more to snag another one. Like the Stuka, I love how it's unique and not often found at a flying field.My YouTube RC videos:

Welcome to Hobby Squawk CWS! I would start with what the manual suggests then tweak it to your liking, here's a link to the manual.

Which is?
It was pretty well known that the front end was susceptible to snapping off with unkind turf.
Be interesting to know if they did any reinforcements on the newer ones.
If so, it would be kind of like the unannounced upgrade to the A-6 in the battery tray area. :Cool:Warbird Charlie

Check with your manual for the CG and the throws. Initially that's where they recommend you start from, once you're used to the plane, you can adjust it to suit your individual taste.
That's one manual I'll put on my list for rewriting.

No, can't get any info on throws, Ryan said he didn't mention the throws in the video because they aren't in the manual.
So the only thing you can do ("I don't need no stinking throws!") bind her up, center your servos and blast off. I hate to admit it, but I've done that, throw her in low rates and hold one. Bad advice, but you have to come up with a starting point somehow.
Maybe Seaviper can advise you.....

I always flew with the old Admiral 5000 about an inch back. Maiden I'm sure I flew with it all the way forward.
If I had to guess on rates I'd say set it up like a warbird. Some jets need throws that look uncomfortable but end up being what's needed.
My advice a smooth low deflected warbird type throw will serve you well. Some have acted like this bird is a handful but I found it well behaved. It's kind of heavy so it likes its speed, also I think the lower deflection will keep her in the groove so she won't exhibit any nastiness.
