In other words if your aircraft is flying along and you find yourself "chasing a control surface, it was ailerons for me, add expo. A formula there is not. Start with 30 expo and fly if you like it leave it. It will be better, if you think it can be even better add another 10 expo.
Here's where the arguments begin. I don't believe in expo for learning to fly. If you don't have shaky hands learn to fly with your fingers first.
Exactly, try then fly, the only real formula if you wish to call it that is what you yourself dial in that makes it comfortable for your thumbs and a particular airframe. It's that simple, for the most part the rest of this is just allot of BS you don't need to think about. Just try it, fly it and then you will know.
