Default RE: Expo ballpark

Before flying the plane, or setting any expo, turn on transmitter and receiver. Move the sticks like you would while flying and actually see what the surfaces are doing. Also move the sticks slowly frm center to extreme and then move them quickly from center to extreme, watching what the surfaces actually do.

Then set negative xx% expo on the flying surfaces and repeat the observations. Do this at multiple percentages so you'll be able to see what it is actually doing.

It is not like a switch. Negative 50% does not mean you get zero servo movement until the stick is halfway to the extreme. It reduces the sensitivity some but it's not as extreme as I thought it would be before I tried it.

I did not put expo on the throttle, I just have it on the flying surfaces.
