I sort of asked this question in another thread, and have seen exactly zero replies so..

My situation - another new plane [8D], setup as recommended and I find there is (aileron) much greater control throw than I would typically use, but this are offset by much greater exponential (smoothing) than I would typically use. I'm wondering what you folks (competing at higher levels - Advanced / Unlimited) use.

In this case - my IMAC gas planes (a 33% Edge, CAP 231, and Laser) - aileron I have max deflection (non 3D) to a roll of about 1 per second, and I use expo (JR) at 30-35%. The new plane (QQ YAK 102") - started at their recommendation for throw and expo, (since changed a lot) - which gave a roll rate of about 2 per second (non 3D!), and an expo of 70% or so.

For aileron - do you use large amounts of expo to offset large control throws, or do you use medium expo and medium control throws?

What about Rudder and Elevator - large amounts of control throw vs expo?

In my case, only for 3D elevator, have I ever had expo over 70% before. Actually, perhaps funny, but I never even used expo until I started to compete in IMAC about 10 years ago - and then expo was just rudder. As I 'progressed' I started using expo on the other primary controls (this was in the days before 3D)

Cheers,
