Gongrats on the maiden, Robert!

Throws, expo, trim, CG and so forth are definitely subjective matters. I have found I like the higher rates and have actually started to take out some of the expo. However, this may be because I am using analog servos that don't move through their ranges quickly enough (even at 6 volts) so I may switch to digitals this winter. This is not an expensive airplane, but it certainly deserves good servos and a good engine.
