I just maidened my new model tech Magic today, but only one very short flight due to very windy conditions. One of the most experianced flyers at my field helped me maiden it, and suggested that I take out all the expo until I got the feel for the plane, then start adding it in. I use expo on my kadet and SSE, so I just put it in my magic.

So I guess the question is, to start with expo, or without and add it in after I get used to how the plane handles?

I also re-suggested to him that I make a dual rate situation where low was low without expo, and make high the same with expo.
