Yes, they are talking about End Point Adjustments.

You DO NOT want to use Expo on the throttle. As was pointed out several times above, you need to make sure that you have smooth linear mechanical setup on the throttle.

You can adjust the throw by simply rotating the position of the servo arm.

Remove the pushrod, move the servo to idle position, remove the servo arm, and rotate it so it almost points straight back (If the idle position is back, if the idle position of the servo is forward, point the arm so it is almost straight forward)

This will give less movement during the first half of the throw and more on the last half.
Aren't those two quotes contradictory? I'm not trying to start a war, it's just I have the utmost respect for each of your opinions and I'm trying to figure out if I'm missing something here.

Isn't Mike's technique kind of a "poor man's exponential rate"? Again, not trying to start a war... just trying to figure it all out.
