Flight control sensitivity settings

Here’s what I did and it removed the guess work:
Select your joystick/yoke in “controls” and set your sensitivity curve to linear, zero sensitivity, zero deadzone, zero neutral.
Select an aircraft that allows you to fly slow and offers a lot of control authority. I used the X-Cub.
Establish a level flight path and trim the aircraft. Once the aircraft is properly trimmed you should be able to fly in level flight essentially “hands off”
Experiment with one axis at a time and cycle back and forth from “flight” to “controls” using the “esc” key making small adjustments to the appropriate sensitivity function. Once satisfied, move on the the next axis.
Remember, if your aircraft is grossly out of trim your controls will have a difficult time regardless of your sensitivity settings - especially during landings.
