MinnFlyer's chart is pretty clear but one more thing would complete it for me. What is the percentage for the expo curve on it ?

I've been flying my Parkflyers Edge 540T with the surfaces set to minimum throws (inside holes - servos / outside holes - control horns) using the supplied TX. When I tried the 6EXA TX with it I was flying a bucking bronco !! Admittedly, I hadn't moved to the inside servo holes but I suspect it was partially because the sticks on the 6EXA are way smoother / have softer springs. I'd like to use this TX rather than the Parkflyers one and it seems that expo could be what I need to keep the model, as a relatively inexperience pilot, flyable.

If this is so, what would be good choices for the expo settings, for safe sports flying ?

Thanks
I use expo on a few of my planes. I just checked the settings on my MT Extra 300. Keep in mind that on the 6EXA you can set a high and low expo rate. Mine are set to -20 on low rates and -50 on high rates. Most of the time I fly with low rates. Try adding some, perhaps -20 and see how it feels. If this isn't enough, you can add more.
