Cheers Pete, I did get a reply from Jerry Bates, he couldn't remember the control surface throws, said he just has them at full travel and "uses what he needs" (interesting). He did say the C of G was back 5", I'll start at 4" as you recommend (better nose heavy than the other way round). The control throws sound about right, I might be tempted to put a bit of differential on the ailerons. As for the speed brake, I did think we would have to mix in some down elevator with it, all trial and error I suppose. We are going to test fly it in primer, when the paint job is completed I'll probably do a build thread for it as I have taken plenty of photo's. Thanks again for your response. Best regards, David Jones.
