General Dx8 set up for aerobatic plane

[Jerryz]

Hi everyone. I am an intermediate pilot, and I want to start flying aerobatics. The planes I currently have are not good aerobatic planes. I just purchased a Katana (EPO). Does anyone have DR and Expo settings to dumb it down a bit until I get used to it?

Expo for all my planes is normally set to 30%
DR you can set to 100% 75% 50%, then you can switch between the three, for mad flying to docile.

Thanks Lee I'll try it

Lee has the setup I use, except I use more expo when there is more throw. I have been known to use up to about 55% expo with 100% throws.

Just to keep this thread going...

I agree with that set up to start,as you get better you can experiment with less expo on certain controls. I've reduced the rudder and elevator to very little expo, but keeping the ailerons at a higher expo % works well.

Another feature I've been learning is to adjust the throttle curves. Creating a smaller gain in throttle levels help to keep the throttle less sensitive. It makes harriers and hovers easier to control...IMHO.
