Default 2.6mm composite 260

Got a 2.6mm 260 and am starting to wrap it up. The only thing is how much deflection should i use for the ail on 3d rates. It says to use 65mm in both directions and i can you use more up if I want to. 65mm seem like it wouldn't be enough. Should I put more up in. Any body got a good ail set up? Thanks for the help.

Must be hard to measure 65mm on a 2.6mm plane

Get as much throw as you can. No such thing as too much throw.

You're going to want ALL the throw you can get out of it, mine never had enough in it and I even lengthened the slots in the stabs and rudder.
