    25-30% of the wetted hull. Start with back of battery just even with the motor, and prop usually 2 degrees raised from being parallel to the bottom. Watch it run and adjust from there, also Look here http://www.rcchiefhobbies.com/Tutorials.html

    Everything I have starts at 30%. Very rarely adjust much further back than that. I have had to move it forward. 30% is a great starting point, however.

    Back in the Nimh days I might have gone 30%. With LiPo I seem to always end up further up.
