If I could only convince these newbies how to hold the sticks -- thumb and finger -- rather than thumb on top. That is another story!!

I have been flying off and on for the last 1o years and have always flown with my thumbs on the tops. I assume forefinger and thumb allows for more precise control? Thumb on top just feels better for me, although I'll have to try it on the sim tonite.

Regarding expo: When someone like the above poster says "20%", does that imply -20%? I was playing with my Tx and plane last night on the floor and noticed with +20% expo the stick movement becomes less effective towards full servo deflection, while -20% provides a more neutral feel around the center of the stick, until you really pull back (eg: elevator). I would assume one would want the -20% as to be more gentle until doing something like a snap roll ot tight loop. Am I misinformed?

BTW, how do you get someone else's quote to show up in the box? I usually hit the "quote" button then paste the message. This seems to put the quote outside the box. Thanks
