    Rates and Expos Use Expo to soften the feel of the model. On high 3D Use low rate settings for all flying except for 3D rates, use quite a bit of expo. The goal on 3D rates is to aerobatics. For precision flying or general sport hot- get the model to feel the same around neutral as it does dogging, the low rate throws are perfect, even for snap on low rates.
