Well I've maiden-ed two Kinetics so far and will be doing a third tomorrow at Penrith. As Kieran mentioned I used a glide test off the bank next to Grace to trim the elevator. You will need all the elevator authority you can get, but for the ailerons I would suggest 70% with a little expo. For the first couple of flights I would suggest you get someone else to hand launch (unless you are ok with the use of the rudder (I fly mode 1) to keep the wings level). I now self hand launch with about 65% power and some back elevator, try and keep the wings nice and horizontal, this will give you more time to get your hand back onto the stick. I use a 3S 800mAh battery and fly at 55 to 65% throttle for flight time of 9 to 10minutes.
If the weather stay good i am planning on being at our field on Wednesday if you want a hand.
