Just a view point, but I always leave my B controller in the default setting. Rationale is it will run (perhaps not optimum) but will run, in default mode - I have never had any surprises from the default B controller settings. That always leaves it available - should I screw up A mode so badly the engine does not want to run on it. The worst I have noticed about the default B controller settings, for my installation, is that it's a bit too rich at idle and just a tad lean at full throttle, but in between its always run fine. Just a point of view, nothing wrong with copying a good A to B. Hope to hear about your first flight soon.
