Yes I have 20% on Ailerons for quick response to alternating rolling harriers and 30% on elevator and rudder.
But it's more about STICK time that counts different expo settings can be accommodated with the relevant skill it just makes it a bit more comfortable. NO SUBSTITUTE FOR AIR AND SIM TIME. SIM time for the relevant first steps and hours on sticks and Air time to perfect your model and make it real especially with some wind thrown in the mix. 85 percent of my maneuvers are learnt on the SIM beforehand its an absolute must IMHO
