Default Control surface stop angles?

For those that are in the air, where did you set your max defection angles? I am mounting the emp on the fuse and just wondering if folks went with the min or max of the specs for travel. Plans are mild-non straight and level, AP, and X country. Thanks.

Default

My procedure has always been to shoot for the max. and then accept being a degrees or two short of that if that is the way the final rigging works out.

It is easy to get right on with deflections that have hard stops (up elevator, up aileron) the primary one that is more difficult is down aileron, because it is slaved off of the up stop on the opposite aileron.
