Don't be afraid of crashing 'cause EPP planes come to the rescue.

Crash and fly again (with a lot of aileron actions).

Not trying to contradict the suggestions, I'd like to have enough aileron authority to fight with the torque, which is evident when the plane is hoving. For some planes, I do need to use maximum throws on ailerons.

Just my 2 cents.

Yep I like to go as far as I can with the travels. Aileron are around 45 deg and elevators and rudder around 50-60 deg.

So neutral with the CG, but what kind of throw should a guy use, Lets say on a over powered Yak....
