FMS bi plane if I come in for landings on low rates because its purposes up and down and very hard to land. I did give the elevator more exponential, should I give it even more like 50% or none at all.

Expotential is different for each person. I have not seen a manufacture give a recommended exponential setting only recommended control settings. Before using exponential try reducing your control throw mechanically or on your radio. If the elevator is still touchy start with 10% expo and go from there.

I thought I did my best at 30% exponential with the elevator set on low rates to only about 3/8 of and inch and it will do a tight loop on high rates at 3/4 inch I ll never use it , so coming in for a landing its just to unstable up and down on the nose end so I figure maybe I need more exponential., what do you think more or less expo?

That's what I say it's a preference thing and also some planes need more expo than others. I use 30- 35 % expo on most of my planes but my FMS Corsair needs 45% expo on the elevator or it likes to porpise. Try adding 40% expo and see how it is. Now I know some people will say they hate expo but I say whatever works for you and gives you a more enjoyable flying experience go for it. Good flying!
NOW HERE'S THE KICKER i I have other slower more stable planes that fly perfect snap roll land and go inverted with no 0 Exponential so go figure.
