RE: Proper use of exponential servo control for sequence flying
One thing to look into is the use of dual rates. I have 3 independent rate switches for the 3 controls. I use mostly high rate aileron, and use low for 1 or 2 roll circles. I use low rate elevator for most of my flying, using high (30 degrees) for tail-slides and some spin entries. I use low rate rudder for most flying also, using high rate for tail-slides, rollers and the occasional stall turn.
I have an entirely separate 3D program with 45 degrees on high rate everything with -60 to -80% expo. Low rates are the same as my sequence set-up with -20% on ail/rud, with +15% on elevator (10 degrees of throw). Futaba flyer.
