Anyone have a different set up reccomendation? I usually set up about 30% expo just to smooth out the shaky thumbs 😎.

Thanks for any help!

I recall that the throws in the manual were low and I later increased them, particularly on the ailerons. Get as much travel as you can for the flaps. I changed the installation to increase the flap throws to around 60 degrees. Good luck!
