flaperon setting

just wondering the best way to set flaperons and at what basic setting. I have the kitfox lite and it has the lever for them, I usually use it in #1 and sometimes 2 but it sure pushes the nose down hard. Just not sure the best setting for cruise setting. :)

the best setting for cruise is where she flys the best.  You can use some reflex to trim the nose up, but that makes the roll control heavier too.  I don't have notches on mine, its just friction.  I have them set so I can get a little reflex out of them but after take off, I run them down and give the stick a wiggle to see as I play with the flap handle to make sure I am getting the lightest stick forces.  I guess one of these days I should just take off and set the flaps at the optimum cruise position then land without touching them and make a stop for the handle.
