Yes, just level it with the MP. We don't recommend expo on the controls.

Thanks for the quick reply besides expo is there a way to "tame" the responsiveness of the controls?

Make your controls 1 to 1 with the controller. There is the rate gain and a stabilization gain that the MP defines. The Rate is how well the controller reacts to where it is. The Stabilization is how well it gains to how it should be at a given (frame reference). In a way it is a dual reacting PID.

Yes, you could reduce the stabilize P value and that will make it tamer.  The issue that you may find though is that stabilize controller is also used by the higher level controllers (like loiter) so if you soften the response for yourself, you'll also soften it for the loiter controller and it could have troubles.
