color=#0000ff size=2>Here's what I used for the first flight on my Focus
II:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=298053220-12102004><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>- Elevator 15 degrees, 50% expo</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=298053220-12102004><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>- Ailerons 12 degrees, 40% expo</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=298053220-12102004><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>The instructions that came with mine recommending setting
the wing at zero for first flight (see bench setup toward the end of
instructions under the section titled Pattern Airplane Trim Guide). I did
that and after a few flights I've probably adjusted the wings back close to 1/2
positive....I'd have to check.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=298053220-12102004><FONT face=Arial

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=298053220-12102004><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>These settings were good for first flight. I think
you'll find the elevator will have more than enough travel. I reduced the
travel on mine after a couple of flights. It will just depend on how
sensitive you want your elevator to be.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am setting up my plane - can anyone tell me what
would be the best recommended throws for ailerons and elevator for the 1st
flight? Also, the plans suggest a 1/2 degree positive in wing and a 1/4
degree negative in the stabilizer - should I leave this setting or should I zero
wing out for the 1st flight? CG will be as per plans. I can put dual
rates in, but still need a basis to start with.</FONT></P>
