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
