Absent the opportunity (at the moment) to put together a real plane, I'm trying my hand at modeling a Charger in X-Plane. I've got the plans, but they don't really facilitate some of the measurements X-Plane wants. I'll probably come up with a bunch of questions along these lines, but the one that's got me stumped at the moment: what are the control deflections? I assume in the +/-15-20 degree range for ailerons, maybe +/-20 degrees for elevator, and similar for rudder. I'll go with guesses, but obviously the closer I can get to real-life numbers, the better off I'll be.

Since this is a learning exercise as much as anything else, all I'll promise out of this is a questionable-quality model that may or may not fly anything like a real Charger.
