The question that I have are first, is this plane just that sensitive to control inputs. I have at least 65% expo on every surface. Second is, when are you all switching to high rates?
This is the first elevon plane that I have flown. Any advice to help on my next flights?

Hey man!
You could definitely be a touch tail heavy. You're also getting in that range where expo starts getting a negative effect. Nothing really happens for so long on your stick travel, then it has to make a large movement to catch up. Check CG first and even if good maybe scoot it forward a little more. If it's still to touchy try bringing your expo down to about 45%
