dial a BUNCH of expo in so you can get in to the 3D rates and when your done with the manuver turn them off. Im flying profiles right now and i have about -50% expo on the elevator. I fly the whole time on 3D rates. The expo feels like it has better res untill you really get in to the stick than all he** breaks lose. hehehe.
Travel on elevator is atleast 50 deg. hope this helps.
