It would be best if you find a more experience pilot to fly her and get her trimmed out for you.

If not, I would cut your throws down to 65% and set your expo at 35% if your radio allows that.

Couple more flights on this one. The word "Ponderous" comes to mind - not in a bad way. She does things slowly, compared to a sport plane or warbird - slow to respond to elevator and aileron inputs...

The Stinson Reliant is NOT a good plane to learn on - it is too fast and a little quirky.
