Good point.  I should have added that.. I definitely use a bit, perhaps 20%, of expo on my first flight.  It sort of eases the stress of that first flight.  And I might add, watch that roll rate.  Be very moderate with aileron throws.  Excessive roll rate will get you if you are not careful, especially when trying to land a plane that is very sensitive to roll.</p>

Again, this is for maiden flights for those that are beginners in this fine craft.  Those experts already know what I'm talking about and usually take appropriate measures to prevent serious problems on that first flight.</p>
