BTW: I use the recommended CG and about 40% of the recommended throw for the elevator and ailerons. I use about 10% expo on both.

To dial them in I set up dual rates with about 50% of the stock throw as the low rate. Each flight I knock 10% off the low rate until the it feels good. That's 10% less than 50%, ie around 45% and then 40% and then 36%.
