On my 40% planes when the ailerons or center hinged (non comp-arf) I start with:
Ailerons: 16 degrees up, 15 degrees down, bout 10 to 15% expo, no more. This is usually close on the differential to keep tracking strait in rolls

Elevator: 12 up, 14 degrees down. More down so the push and pull out feel the same. no more than 25% expo.
Rudder: 30 to 35 degrees either side, adjusted to get the snaps like i want them to feel. bout 35% expo.

This works pretty consistent for a close start, then small adjustments to get the exact feel.
Hope this helps,

cool thanks.

That rudder throw, isn't it to much for a snap looking for a nice quick. I will play with it.

To make snaps look quick you need more ail. not more rudder, more rudder will cause you to over snapafter you let go the inputs, to little rudder will cause you to zero the snap.

too much aileron can make you zero a snap to ha ha.
