I have my elevator throws set for 20% of full throw when flying pattern and I still use 40% expo. The other surfaces also have similar set ups in relation to full throw. Full throws are used for landing and take off and have higher expo percentages.
You misunderstood what I wrote...I was responding to an earlier post where someone stated that one needs to add a certain amount of expo to try to bring the control surface response to something near linear. His logic was based on the sin function motion of the servo in the x-axis. I was pointing out that this opposite relationship occurs at the control surface also, thus no need for expo to make the response linear...it already is!
