3D flight will allow you to experience the best attributes of the Extra EXP or 
any aircraft for that matter.  The included elevator servo arm will allow for 
close to 80 degrees of throw!  While this is great for really aggressive tumbling 
maneuvers, positive and negative waterfalls and straight down dropping 
elevators, it can wreak havoc on stable harriers, especially if you are just 
learning the maneuver. If your radio will allow I suggest setting up 3 elevator 
rates or a flight condition that will allow you a rate for precision flying, 
another for harriers and the majority of 3D maneuvers and a final rate with 
as much travel as you can get for the crazy tumbles and flips. 

Here are some suggested rates to get started with.  These are the rates and 
exponential values I feel comfortable with.  They may feel awkward to you 
and if so please adjust to your taste. 

Elevator: Low rate-8-10 degrees;  15-20% Exponential   

                 3D rate-45-50 degrees;  40-50% Exponential 

                 Insane tumble rate: As much as possible!  65-70% Exponential 

Rudder:  Low rate-20 degrees;   45-50% Exponential 

                3D rate- As much as possible;  60-70% Exponential 

Aileron:  Low rate-15-20%;  40-45% Exponential 

                3D rate- As much as possible;  50-60% Exponential
