Contrary to most post I set my throws to be *a lot*, on a trainer style plane I would like to see at least an inch up/down on elevator and ailerons, rudder even more throw. Sometimes due to the build I can't get this much, I then take all it will give me.

But… I also set up a lot of expo for the first flight, a trainer style plane about 50%... small 3d electrics & giant scale up to 70%.

I *first fly a lot of planes* around our field and I once got caught having to fly like 95% up elevator to keep a plane level, and I have had to use 60 maybe 70% stick on ailerons before too. So now I have plenty of throw with plenty of expo.

Two things happen after my first flight:

I reduce the throw (or add for 3d) if needed for the individual and adjust the expo accordingly. The worst I’ve had happen with this set up is the plane was very mushy to fly. No problems, just remove some expo after landing, repeat if necessary.

Of course this all revolves around a computer radio
