Default expo settins for 3d

its is up to you how much expo you use, but you should be carefull with using high amounts -40+.



If you go over this, then there is a period of the stick movement where the controls move very suddenly from the smooth response around neutral to the high throw when the stick is as far as it can go.This can happen on your final turn for landing, where the elevator suddenly becomes sensitive when the stick is at about 1/4 to 1/2 deflection, which can make the plane stall.
Its happened to quite a few jets and ducted fans when expo first came in.

Personally, i use -45 for the elevator, -40 for the ailerons, and -10 expo on the rudder.
I experimented by going over this , but i hated the feel of the model- around neutral it just didnt feel like a crazy 3d funfly.
